Any ideas to deal with rust pin holes in black chrome mufflers?

That's a tough one. The thin metal may have interior rust in a greater area than where it has broken through. Welding or brazing may fix it for awhile but repairing the black chrome, well, there's the rub. Same for the chrome-chrome muffs.  :(
