No they will not, most reputable shops will not touch the converter. They can be fined big time. Buy a straight pipe off ebay, and put it on in your driveway, if you must have it.

Yes its a $100,000 fine if they remove a catalytic converter... so they for the most part take it off. They will however cut the bolts off so you can do it yourself.
