Where to have Pacesetter header welded on in CEDAR RAPIDS area?

I just got a Pacesetter header and it has to have the extention welded on.
Where at in the Cedar Rapids area should I get it done?
Who will do a good job and not try to screw me on the price?
I'm thinkin that it shouldn't cost me more than $50??? Does that sound about right?

So ditch the extention and just get a new down pipe made?
What diameter would be best?

No bring them the extension and have them do it. It need to be a 3 to 2.5 so it can bolt upto you exhaust.

Whats the advantage of doing that over just cutting the stock dp and welding the extention on?

i just did that because it was cheeper and with the pacesetter they give you kind of a new flexpipe that is a little different so i do not have the flex pipe that was on the stock header and so far so good its not the best thing for the car but i have red lined in many times with no problem ill look under my car and take a pic and post it so you can see what i got

Ok thanks. I just wanna know what I'm asking the shop to do when I go in there so they don't think I have no clue and try to screw me.
