Exhaust thoughts? Recommended Muffler Shop(s) in SF Bay Area???

Hey all, it's time to get the exhaust done on my latest acquisition ('62 Impala SS, SBC/4 spd). Currently, running headers and some old gl*** or steelpack mufflers (roughly 20" or so) and it's WAY TOO QUIET! The exhaust is also dumping out in front of the rear tires. That's how I got her... Time for a little change.

My plan is to run some much shorter gl***packs (12") and to have the exhaust run all the way out the back with some pencil tips at the rear bumper.

Any of you Bay Area HAMBers know of a good muffler shop that "gets it"? (Maybe some old hotrodder guy). Preferably in the East Bay (Oakland/Berkeley/Alameda).

Also, I'm wondering if some stock rams horn exhaust manifolds might sound better then these headers(?)

Thoughts? Thanks!!
