Default Custom exhaust work near Baltimore?

Anyone recommend a good exhaust shop in Baltimore County or surrounding area? I just got some new tips from another member and they are several inches longer than the tips that came with my loudmouth system. I didn't think it'd be a problem since I could just shorten the tailpipes till the tips fit under the car. Problem is, the passenger side tailpipe on the loudmouth system comes back from the axle at an angle, with only the last 4 inches being straight for mounting tips. So there's not enough straight pipe to cut off what I need to for the tips to be flush with the bumper. It's hard to explain, but basically I'm going to need the passenger side tailpipe reworked so as it comes straight back.

Here's an illustration of what I need:


The system has a dogleg bend in the passenger side (red line), which means if I cut it down for longer tips, I'll lose the straight portion of the pipe that I need to weld the tip to. So I need it reworked/replaced to be a 90* then straight out like the driver side (yellow line), so I can cut off as much as I need to for the tips to be flush with the bumper. I'd do it myself, but I don't have the right equipment or experience.

Mandrel Bending Solutions believes a true dual setup on a 82+ F-body is impossible. Even after I showed them pictures, and compared them to the LT1 car they had on the lift at the time - they still believed it wasn't possible. They also sell aluminized stuff as stainless, and then refuse to warranty it 2 years later when it rusts and falls off the vehicle.

MBS is the best. Never had any issues with them and their craftsmanship is top notch. Ask for Greg, he'll set you up.
