Default Good Exhaust Shops in the Area?

Still a little ways away, but I'm trying to find a good exhaust shop that is somewhat local to run the exhaust on my Ranger. I'd like to run it myself using a bend kit and some pipe, then send it out to be welded, but unfortunately there are going to be quite a few compound bends and I think its going to be out of my skill level. The shop needs to be reputable and willing to do it correctly.

Here are the requirements:
- Everything must be Mandrel Bent (I dont care if they bend it in house or order pre-bent pieces)
- Exhaust Must be Stainless

Essentially they are long tube headers with the tri-bolt flange. The exhaust will have to be kicked away from the trans (headers dump facing the trans). After that the Pass. side can be ran straight back (with the exceptions of dipping over the cross member). The Driver side will be the difficult side. It will need to cross over under the trans at some point (more than likely after the cross member). If thats the case the pipe will need to be bent to pass over the cross member as well as ducking underneath the trans just after it. The driver side has to cross over because of the fuel tank on the driver side. Both sides will be ran into stainless flowmasters and dumped before the rear end under the bed somewhere on the pass side.

Heres a pic underneath the truck (it has a diff cross member right now, its directly under the trans mount now).
