Local exhaust shop suggestion?

Hey guys I was putting on a used 3in stromung catback today and realized that the flange on the midpipe connecting to the downpipe was significantly bent forward causing a pretty big leak. I used brand new grimmspeed gaskets and even tried using an old (2 month old) 3 inch gasket to stack with. It helped a little bit but there is still a big leak.

I need a shop capable of either banging out the bend somehow or cutting off the flange completely and welding on a new straight one.

Thanks guys. Trying to stay in the hayward/union city/fremont area

I went to Tri-Valley muffler in Dublin a few years ago. A friend recommended the shop to me. Did a good welding job on my exhaust, although it was just a mounting tab.

and it's reasonably priced.

The one in Fremont is Performance Exhaust(or Performance Muffler, can't remember) that's right next to Troy's shop. But Randy the guy that did excellent work isn't there anymore.

Randy opened his own place called randys exhaust shop 5104901001. He does great work, and he is reasonably priced.

Hmm so I called around seems like Performance and Exhaust and Troy Ermish Racing (510 Parts Outlet) is the same thing. They didn't pick up but i'll try again later. Randy's Exhaust Shop phone number is disconnected.

Again i'm looking for a shop willing to work on a CATLESS setup.

any big muffler shop wont want to touch your catless car.
steve at modern mufflers in sunnyvale did my custom v8 y pipe from headers all the way down for cheap and a good job too.
