Looking for a good exhaust shop for work in San Jose.

I was looking for an exhaust shop in San Jose to weld me up a custom exhaust for me. Does anyone know of a good shop local to San Jose/Santa Clara area that does good quality work and doesn't use crap material or have sloppy welds like a lot of these ESSJ shops near me. Haha

I'm interested as well, I'd like to know how much a custom catback would cost me for my '13 hatchback.

I took my old cars to UnderCar service off of Capitol, but I don't know if they're still in business.

I took my Tundra to Quik Way Muffler Service on Kiely and Stevens Creek for a Flowmaster install about 4-5 years ago and they were super upstanding guys and all old hotrod dudes.
