I'm not sure that all Boxster exhausts have those holes. Here's a picture of one without them. So your mileage may vary... Still you're making holes or making the existing ones bigger, so it shouldn't really matter.

No you don't need a lift to do this. I imagine that if you're flexible you could even do it with the muffler still on the car! Check for instructions on muffler removal though as I believe there are some on this site. You'll need to remove a U-shaped pipe just before the muffler inlet. Again, with that totally removed or at least moved out of the way, I believe you might be able to fit a drill up under there to do this. If not, you certainly could do it with a 90 degree attachment.
