Regardless of whether emissions testing exists in your area, most repair shops will not remove a catalytic converter for you as it is a violation of federal laws to do so, and they risk fines or loss of licenses if they are caught. I am not saying you won't be able to find a shop to do the work, but be prepared to have a few say no.

I would say replacement with a newer, high flow cat is your best option. They give little if any loss of power compared to straight pipe systems.
