Mod shop in Chicago Area?

Guys can you suggest a place to get some work done on my R56 Hardtop. Would like to get a new exhaust put in this spring.

Thanks for the input but I am not handy at all and would prefer a professional handle this type of install.

I like Dan at Import Service Center in Glenview..
http://www.importservicecenterinc.com/

He is a Chicago MINI Motoring Club member, and has always done a nice job for me..

I had my Borla exhaust installed there during a Way Motor Works event at Dan's shop a couple years ago

Thought I'd bump this to see if anyone had any other recommendations.

I'm thinking of deleting the 2nd cat & res and I'm in the west burbs.
