A lot of the cheap aftermarket units are thinner and lighter than the OEM unit, plus when the boots are pulled back, the CV’s are also lighter duty than the factory. We have also seen cast shafts rather than forged units, again making the aftermarket units less durable and even subject to premature failures. When it comes to driveline components, you want the stoutest stuff you can find.

A good friend of mine who's replaced a million axles on boxster race cars says he uses the replacement boot kit for a 928. The boot is the same size and it comes with everything you need plus the grease. The 928 boot is a lot cheaper too
