Since I am unable to get my OEM exhaust & downpipe back on myself (hoa rules against any mechanical work being done in the garage ><) I need to find a local shop who could do the exhaust work for me. Need oem exhaust & downpipe re-installed, pipe between muffler and resonator was chopped in 1 spot so I could initially transport it back home, so that will need to be flanged or mated back however is best.

Didn't initially think to take it to a generic exhaust shop due to them not being familiar with getting the the heat shield on & off, but I could be wrong...just didn't want to pay for extra labor for fiddling if I didnt have to

Any other ideas would be great!

Can anyone refer a trusted mechanic/shop in the greater los angeles area? Another idea would be for me to drive up to northern california (I'm due for a visit to SF) and get it done there...so refer away
