Default Exhaust fabrication

I am looking for recommendations for exhaust fabrication shops in the Central Valley of California. Bakersfield north to Yuba City I guess would be fine. Looking for as many options as possible , so if anyone knows of a quality shop, please let me know.
Thanks,
Chris

They do a fair amount of work on some of the Trans Am Cars. High Quality, but a bit of a drive for you........

Nicely done Ron! I made mine (pics in my gallery) after factoring in the cost of having them ceramic coated I could have done them in stainless too.

Thanks for all of the help guys, it's appreciated.

Jerry,
do you have any other info on how I might find Ron Atterbury? If I do get in touch w/ him, I'll be sure to let him know you said "hey".

Ron,
I PM'd you for more info. Very nice looking work on your headers. That's what I'm talking about!

Rick,
thanks for the tip on SPD, already contacted Chris, strong possibility.
Your twisted metal is very cool, excellent work Rick. Are you for hire??

It was the only way the get the necessary primary tube length and have them exit where I wanted so the pipes would be tucked in.

Rick.....Dan Crisp, an excellent local fabricator has a hot rod shop in Sonora Ca. He does awesome work on anything. I'm sure it would be nothing for him to fab up a set...might even be cheaper seeing how it's kinds out of the way.

Rick..........the Ferrari exhaust really is a thing of beauty, might even be worth the price of admission.

Ron,
Do you have a contact number for Dan Crisp?

Thanks again guys
Chris

This exhaust system is made of Iconel.
You may have seen AND heard this (?) This defines throttle response!
