Default cats and exhaust

Ok, so my current exhaust that was on the car when I purchased it last year was said to have new cats on it. but it doesn't look quite right. one side doesn't even bolt up correctly. Now with that being said I found a stock exhaust with an borla x pipe for a good price. After examining it, it looks like there are two small ***** or what appears to be cats just after the collector, then the larger cats just after that, then the o2 sensors. Am i seeing this correctly and are the pre cats really necessary i dont think my current exhaust has them hence why one side of my exhaust doesn't bolt up correctly. I did notice that one of the small ones was broken but the other one is fine should I replace the bad one? or bust out both of the pre cats to match. Are they really necessary? I would love to put full exhaust on it but cant afford that now plus i want to do all my performance upgrades at once. So for right now just some small things.

Picture...?
The pup cats are not required unless mandated by your local laws. The car will have 2 more HP without them.
