Default know anyone in NW chicago burbs who does stainless exhaust work?

On mY C5 I have long tube headers w/ mild steel tubing in place now beteween the collector and my X pipe that I made that is rusting a bit, causes my exhaust tips to be uneven and overall looks like crap. What I need is intermediate pipes made in stainless that will connect to my cats (do they make stainless high flow 3" cats?) and x pipe. If you look in this sample pic (not my car) I need a pipe made between the collector and the H pipe. Note, my collector is a 3" pipe w/ no flange or clamp of any type on it. Currently I just have stainless band clamps holding my pipes I made on. I will also need a bunch (I will provide) welded in as well. Let me know if this is something you can do and an idea of cost I'll try to get pics of my actual car to show you what I've got now. All it is is 3" straight pipe and some high flow cats though.
Thanks
Dave

It's not the NW burbs, but I believe FLP in Naperville has everything for that kind of job.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure they'd charge me a pretty penny based on the price of their exhaust systems them had..
