I just did this to mine last month on the 20V when one of the rubber 
bands broke. It only took me 15 minutes to weld up, but about an hour to 
get down!! I had to torch off the bolts... they were all barnacled up.

I decided to try to repair it because the rear muffler on the 20V is 
$750+. And yes, they ARE gold plated. They must be!

It was worth me diving into it, it saved me some big coin, and was really 
easy.
