I just got a used OEM Header/Cat from a 2002 (45K miles) Boxster.
There is a new Universal CAT that you can get welded in, but it would be quite a welding chore to do properly and a Jig would be needed to ensure everything aligns properly.
Much more effective to just buy a used one as they will outlast the car unless there is physical damage or the cement holding the element in place breaks free, (From an impact I would think).
A brand new replacement is around $1800.
