Default Where to TIG weld Stainless O2 Sensor Bung into Stainless Down Pipe in SoCal ?

Hello,

I want to TIG weld an O2 sensor Bung (Stainless Steel) onto a Down Pipe/Header (also Stainless).
Do anybody here know the best place to do this in Southern California?
and How much is a reasonable price to have this done?

Thank You

I just return from Jamison Lakes Racing (JLR) Shop in San Bernardino.
Ryan Lakes personally welded the AEM Stainless Steel O2 Bung to my T1R Header/Down Pipe.

He did a good job and very friendly, plus his price is very very reasonable.
He also took out the T1R emblem and polish the place where they weld that emblem so it have smooth surface in preparation for the next step
which is Ceramic Coating.

I got several vendor offer to do this welding job,
but only Ryan can work at night (after hour),
and since I am very busy during the day,
to find a shop that can work after hour is perfect !
Ryan can be contacted at Honda-Tech forum,
his user name: FabChild
Oh, he also got formal Training for Welding at his Community College,
and he explains all the technical question I had.

Here is the pictures of his work:

Few years ago,
I install a JDM Bumper on my Honda Fit.
this require modification to the Reinforcement Bumper Bar,
which done at a body shop.
and I just found out that they (the body shop) left Two spot where the factory weld was,
left UN WELDED...

Long story short,
I went to see Ryan and JLR Racing again today,
had him Spot Weld (TIG Weld) the Two spot,
and he is so nice that he also add several more spot welding at some other
crucial point to reinforce it further without charging me more !!!

All of this for a very reasonable price !!!

This kind of service is what make me willing to drive even though his shop
is 80 miles away from my home !!!

Oh, he also have this amazing Customer Corvette where he did a custom REAR MOUNTED Turbo using all Stainless Steel 321 piping. Beautiful welding craftsmanship by Ryan !

As soon as I have extra money, I plan to do a custom exhaust at his shop.

Thanks Ryan
