How many catalytic converters are on a 2001 Boxster S?

Hi,
I am in the process of buying a 2001 Boxster S from a private seller in Florida (I am in Ohio). Looking forward to making my first post in the New Member Introductions!
I drove a 1984 944 for many years and currently drive a 2015 Subaru BRZ.

The car has a Borla exhaust installed. I am concerned that I may have problems with the emissions test in my county (Cuyahoga). The county where the seller has the car does not do emissions tests.
To my question if the catalytic converters are still on the car, the seller replied that the front cats are still installed. (he's not an expert on Boxsters)

My questions:
1. Does a 2001 Boxster S normally also have rear cats?
2. If there normally are rear cats, and "my" car doesn't have them, will it still pass the emissions test?
3. On the Borla website I only see one offering for a Boxster and that is a cat-back system. Was there anything else on offer in 2014 that may have replaced any cats?

I'm adding photos of the rear underside of the car in case that might help anyone give an answer.

Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
