Default Any TIG Muffler shops?

After installing my Buddyclub Spec III exhaust I've decided to add a magnaflow resonator. Anyone have any shop recommendations in the Bay (SJ) that work with TIG? Most custom exhaust pictures posted here have really crappy welds; I need some clean work done.

thanks!

Too much everything; this exhaust is really loud and almost unstreetable. I drove from LA to SJ yesterday and no matter what you can't control the drone (well unless you keep it around 5K rpms).

If I was a cop I'd pull myself over in a second! But I gotta admit, it does sound nice as you're redlining though the gears.

You do know that you are going to have to remove the exhaust in order to TIG it right? This will not be cheap... compared to a standard MIG weld.

I say MIG it... no one else will see it anyways!!!
