Default Good exhaust welder in the area?

Picking up an exhaust for the bmw tonight, it can be clamped but the company recommends having the stock exhaust cut off and the new one welded on. I've seen Midas and the like really butcher some nice exhausts, I know you get what you pay for but I also don't want to pay too much, its nothing exotic and its all hidden under the car anyways, just want a decent job that won't leak. Anyone make a suggestion? Pictured is about identical to what would need to be installed....

I do all my own exhaust fab. now, but before then, I used to use Tony's Muffler over on Broad Rock right off Walmsley.

I've called a few places, but understandly no one will give me an estimate with out seeing it, I don't have time to drive around all of richmond showing a bunch of shops my exhaust, but I also hate kind of picking a name out of a hat not know at all if I'll be charged $50 for $500... anyone know what I should expect to pay for such a job? heres what needs to be done...

take out like 4 bolts from stock exhaust, cut off at middle and remove, bolt up new exhaust, weld to stock piping
