Well, for this offense, I doubt jail time is likely( but not impossible). You will probably be fined, all depends on the area of the country you live in. If all you want to do is increase performance, remove the cat, gut the insides, and put it back on. At least it's still ON the car. The law doesn't say they'll inspect it INSIDE, and you can claim ignorance, if you bought the car used. You can also keep the cat intact, and remove the muffler to improve performance, as the noise is muffled coming thru the cat anyway, and isn't excessively loud ( usually ) with just a catalytic converter on the car. I don't think it's illegal to remove a muffler, but getting it thru a safety inspection might not be possible( darn Gov't interference) You can also buy legal , high-flowing cats to increase performance ( preferred legal route ), or for that matter, add 1 or 2 more used cats to increase the flow rate, and still help the environment. No one will likely add a used cat to your car, not sure if parts yards will sell you one, either, so that's iffy at best.

What type of oil should be used in a cummins diesel?

Cutting off the catalytic converter defeats the clean burning and air pollution technology that's built into the car. The car will most likely not pass emissions test if it's removed, and this can result in a large fine and suspension of your driver's license in many states.

No, but if they catch you (The EPA shmucks.) you get a nice size fine and they impound your car. Plus if you just lop the puppy off and don't either re-jet your carb, or re-map your EFI, you toast your engine.

As a first offender, you'd be subject to a fine under the Federal EPA standards. Get beyond that and you're looking at much heavier fines, see:
