Default Good exhaust shop in downtown Toronto?

Anyone know a good exhaust shop in downtown Toronto? There's one I like but they're in Burlington and the work I need will most likely require me to leave the car for a day or two and I'll need to hop on the subway from the shop to get to work and home, etc. Looking for an exhaust shop that can also do mechanical work (JHM shifter linkage install). Will also need them to swap the tips on the Magnaflow catback I'll have installed.

Thanks.

Check RPM Import and Domestics on Gary Drive (Dufferin and Dupont) they helped me with my cat back system. Tell them Dave with the V8 Audi sent you they will look after you.

Thanks. Dropped by yesterday and spoke to someone called Rick. Nice guy. Mentioned I'll need work done next month and he said he could do everything I needed.

They did a good job, were very friendly and reasonably priced. Thanks for the recommendation!

Oh and Dave, they remember you well

I'm glad you had a good experience. They have helped me alot through problems I've had with my cars over the last 10 years so I trust them alot. Rick and Peter there make a great team and have a passion for German cars.

Get some video of the exhaust I'd love to hear it cause they really liked your car

Yeah, they had some difficulty with the JHM linkage (they didn't completely view the install video I sent them) so it took an extra 2 and a half hours.

Funny, they lower the car, say, it's all done! Turn it on, sounds awesome. One of them tries to back it out of the bay but can't get it into reverse. Doh!
Raise it back up again, they're investigating the problem, after an hour, I ask to use their computer and download the video and show them the part where they're supposed to cut part of the OEM rod and they're like "Oh". LOL. I don't blame them (the girl was mocking them saying "You need to look at the instructions!" (we're all guys afterall). Anyway, another 2 hours of cutting the OEM rod through the short engine access since they didn't want to have to remove the entire downpipe again (understandably) and finally got everything to work. I gotta hand it to them. The guy is a perfectionist and was sweating like mad but made sure it was done properly.
I'm still living in a mess right now since I moved last week and next week I'm planning on sending my ECU down to JHM for the tune so it might be a while until I find something to record a video with AND have the time AND have the ability to turn the car on
That said, the linkage upgrade is really nice. I hope to get the short-shifter installed tomorrow if my mechanic has time (he also needs to install the intake spacers and a new rear sway bar and a few other stuff.
