When they removed my stock muffler and put on the new one, the mechanic (flipino dude - sorry for lack of better term) threw my stock muffler on the ground. He threw it from his chest level.
Didn't make a big dent, I think just scratches.
But the follow up question he asked was amazing. He said: "do you still want this [stock muffler]? or garbage?"

What's the rough/approx cost of a full exhaust job locally? assuming I supply and material such as muffler and piping. It wouldn't be nothing too crazy just a few cuts and welds required to make it fit hood. It would just run straight to the downpipe from the turbo. I was interested in getting one of the race mufflers over at burnsstainless.com along with some piping...

You should see a fabricator and not an exhaust shop. The exhaust shop wants to do under car stuff and not fiddly stuff.

Muffler Man sounds like a good place but would anyone recommend them for a catback exhaust build?
Would they use mandrel bent tubes, MIG/TIG welders, etc.? I'm considering using them.

They use mig welders. They do not normally use mandrel bends unless you take them some. I have used them many many times for cat backs, repairs etc.
What car is this? There might be something that is mandrel bent for a good price.

Guys, for a VW downpipe job (adding resonator, welding a bit of pipe to the end of it to match up to the stock catback) can I see a regular exhaust shop? Or should I do a more specialist (Euro or VW, I was thinking Blitzkrieg) shop just to be safe? I know VW's can be really weird when it comes to these things.
I would need them to take out my stock downpipe which is on right now, and put on the new downpipe which is missing a mid pipe and add on to the new pipe.

Blitzkreig is fine. There is probably a part already made for what you want to do.
