A quick internet search under titanium welding turnded this up in Carson,Ca.

Let us know if this works out as I am considering the same thing
EDIT: Don't bother,I called them for you,they do inertia welding...IOW,it needs to be able to fit in a lathe type device to work
They can't do it,,sorry

There is a shop that will weld titanium near my house (City of Commerce) but the exhaust has to be off the car since they don't have a lift.
I have already appoached them about this and will take my exhaust to them next week.
Let me know if you want their number.

Ti is very hard to weld because it reacts so bad with oxygen or hydrogen and gets embrittled. To get good Ti welds, you have to weld it in a chamber filled with inert gas (argon or helium) or use a a ton of shielding gas. Make sure the person doing the work has experience before you let them go to town with your parts.
