Default Exhaust work needed TODAY, recommendations?

My downpipe is like 4-5 inches from mating to my exhaust so I'm running open exhaust until I can get it connected somehow. Does anyone know of a good exhaust shop (or anyone for that matter) who can fab a small pipe with flanges to connect the two? I'm gonna try to get off work at noon and get it done today, otherwise I'm calling in tomorrow and getting it done.

If anyone on here is pretty decent at welding and has some 2.25" flanges and pipe, or knows of a shop that can do this, please let me know. And yes, it's 2.25" not 2.5"+ cause it has to mate to the gutted stock cat.

I get off at 5, hopefully they can accomodate me today. It'll take me like 30-40 mins to get there from here, I may end up having to leave the car overnight.

Or try to duck out early. Thanks for the help though guys

Got an appointment at Mad Hatters @ 3:30. Bobby @ S&R recommended them since he's booked up for the next 2 weeks.

Thanks to all, I ended up hitting up Hatters; they were pretty chill people, knew what they were doing and did it well. They actually took a different approach than what I had in mind and also corrected the angle of my downpipe under the car while they were at it. I definitely recommend Mad Hatters on Linebaugh across from the 7-11 to anyone.

On a side note, John from LHT was very responsive via pm's and willing to accommodate me today as well. I would have gone to them, having seen their work all over this forum, but I already had an appointment with Hatters and I don't usually skip out on those once I set them.
