It sucks but that's life. Would like to know if there is a cheaper way too. Had the exact same thing on my '94 9KCS five months ago, a tiny hole at the bottom edge on the outlet side where the rear face is crimped to the shell in the resonator (aka the front muffler). Simply won't pass inspection in NJ. Ended up replacing the exhaust system from the end of the cat converter to the tailpipe.
Actually it is not that bad. For either the 900 or the 9K, the exhaust parts from the end of the cat converter to the tailpipe have only two pieces. The cost is no more than $150 (from Sobstory in NJ). There are only three nuts to remove on the rear flange of the cat converter. I used a recipricating saw to saw off the nuts which made the job pretty easy.
