On an 87 it would only be the exhaust manifold and the cats, I dunno about a 91, but it should be the same.

**** man that blows;

Was it safety or emissions?

if they looked at it then looked u in the face and laughed then you cant get away w/ just putting a cat in there..

you also need the tube that goes to the cat converter.

that sux hardcore though...thats why i decided to get my exhaust custom made so i could swap in a cat when needed

you should be able to get used header/precats for cheap, but a cat might run u up at least 100 bux

Well there should be the exhaust manifold, then 2 pre-cats then a main cat. Do you need to pass a visual inspection, or just emissions??? I have a header, and just 1 high-flow cat and I pass emissions fine. Does the header have a o2 sensor in it???

Also I have the stock exhaust manifold from my '86 if you still think you need one, I *think* they are the same, but ill make sure.
