Shops to repack an exhaust?

I bought an aftermarket exhaust (Devil Shotgun) a while ago and it's about 20 years old. It was well used and the previous owner told me that it's going to need repacking. I strictly bought it for looks and noise, because sometimes I'm like that.

In the spirit of spending my time on other things and letting the professionals do a better job than me, any suggestions for a shop to do this?
Not my bike, but same exhaust:

It's really simple. I haven't done one lately, but in the old days we used copper wire and roxul or fiberglass pink for packing. I repacked my XV920R MAC a couple of years ago using 304 stainless, it's supposed to go 20,000km vs 10k on glass packs.

Watch a couple of YouTube videos.. You should also know glass packs need frequent repacking, and carbed bikes may need rejetting.

Thank you both.

Like others stated, super easy to do. I've got lots of extra rivets at the house if you need any. For the time it takes to drop off/pick up from the shop you could do it yourself.

Use proper packing from RD. The pink can blow out and degrade very fast.
