SF Bay Area to do oem muffler modify ?

I'm looking for a shop that will cut open the oem mufflers and remove the material inside. Want them just a little bit louder to sound like the PE exhaust.

Any suggestions of a shop that would be willing to do this in/around the sf bay area?

thanks guys.

I tried before I posted this. They told me they would need to open it with a torch but would leave a larger gap in order to re-weld them back.

Told them they could just use a cut off tool, can't they?

They declined the job.

Maybe DetailAddict can do it for you. They offer exhaust services.
