And while I agree the cat(s) are the front runner on the suspects list, high oil consumption doesn't guarantee bad cats. The 89 in my sig really swigs the stuff but the cats haven't given up yet!
And no, I'm not gonna bother with the valve seals on a car that has over 232,000 miles on it and isn't worth more than a 1,000 dollars! I love Benzer 1 dearly but that just ain't gonna happen! Too much else to do!

Do you mean two precats (one per pipe coming off of exhaust manifold) and one main cat (after the 2:1 collector)? I've been looking at exhaust diagrams all morning. I wonder what the best way to test these would be. I could unbolt the main cat, but couldn't run it with a sidepipe dump since the O2 sensor manages the engine once it warms up.
Eventually I'd be wanting to put on a turbo with moderate boost so maybe universal cat with 3" back exhaust using universal stuff might be useful. Idk, I'd have to consider that.
