Default Any reputable Ti welders in the bay?

Well I'm considering picking up another J's 70RR from some local guy. The exhaust was damaged during shipping and is bent. Also a square patch of titanium was cut out to fix another Ti exhaust. I want to know if there are any shops in the bay that could fix this exhaust or should I forget. I would hate for this new exhaust to go to waste but i dont wanna invest money into something thats worthless.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Here's some pics of the damage.

i hope you didn't pay much for that exhaust, TI welding and repairs are EXPENSIVE.

And i've heard good things about the guy Andrew is recommending, i remember he quoted me before, and was very fair about the pricing.
