Welding in SoCal (Los Angeles)

I need to have some customization done for a stainless exhaust. I’m looking for someone in the LA area who can do work like below. Who’s got a recommendation?

Thanks I’ll take a look, I’ve also found a shop fabtech in my area that seems like they might be able to get the job done well.

Here’s a sample of some work they did to make exhaust swaps for track days, and vice versa, easy for me. No more gaskets, no more leaks, two bands and I’m legal. and those welds!!

Those are quality welds! I'm happy to hear the project went well.

It actually didn’t go well, or at least as planned, but that’s one of the reasons I’m now a fan of these guys. They were cool about stuff not working out and worked with me to still make things happen. I’m used to a lot more attitude when things go sideways but this was a really positive experience.

Ah, I've been there- projects can be "fun." I'm glad to hear Fabtech took it in stride and ran with the challenges.
