I don't know what Il may do in the future and where I am (NYC) there is no emissions check on diesel's YET but based on the gasser inspection, I imagine the first part of the inspection is a visual check. If what's supposed to be there isn't there (the cat) they go no further. You fail. It doesn't matter what the OBD-2 system says since it generally can't detect the existence of a cat unless there are O2 sensors downstream of it.

The answer (not legal of course) is an empty cat shell.
