Yes it would mean the Cats most likely. I'm not sure if it applied to 87'sbut back in the early 90's there was a recall issued on my 88 that involved melting catylist melting. My stock exhaust was replaced from the back of the headers to the midway flange. Now I'm sure the recall wouldn't still be valid but you may want to check if was preformed on your car and if not you may have your problem.(Mine did have plugged cats and ran just as you descirbed).
