custom exhaust piping shop?

Does anyone know of any reputable/semi-famous shops around that would create custom exhaust piping for a dec. price? I've heard MIDAS did this service, but they overcharge on everything; I may just have to contact them or exileracing, because I am still searching far and wide for possibilites in making a custom dump pipe, charge pipe, and turbo manifold.

im planning on using a simple T3/T4 turbocharger. Nothing big, but there shouldnt be any turbo lag, let alone fit in the engine bay, once I get some 12" electric fans installed. I'm only planning on running 8psi boost, just enough to get me to around 240HP to the crankshaft, 235HP to the differentials, finally around 220 to the wheels.

so far, ive figured that the turbo manifold can consist of the stock OEM iron cast header, but just cutting off the OEM flange and welding on a T3 flange there.

charge pipe wouldnt be difficult, just purchase a few 2.5/3" diameter steel piping from JEGS, get someone or some shop to weld on a flange for the blow-off valve, and then use the basic rubber couplers and a few elbows, connecting the pipe from turbo outlet to intake plenum inlet.

as for the dump valve, sigh, i have found T4 flanges everywhere, but it seems making the piping for such a flange would be a pain, and would probably cost a ton. but anyway, custom piping welded to flange, then from dump pipe to stock or Predator V6 downpipe, originally made for n/a V6.

and of course, pop the K&N filter from the cold air intake to the turbo compressor inlet.

piping done. but i just need someone or someplace to do this, since i suck at welding, and have no access to mandrel bending machines or even a welder for that matter.

know any contacts, shops, etc? im located in central iowa, lol. if i can get this part done, i have to get going on fuel management, put in the tranny cooler, the high stall converter, etc.
