You can always go with brand new euro cats. Bought mine through a U.S. parts dealer who was able to access the European OE parts network. Did this for three reasons; 1) preserving my U.S. spec cats, 2) my cats already had 60K miles and these parts do need to be replaced periodically, 3) ease of installation, avoiding the need to find someone who has the expertise to do this type of welding without any leaks.

As for the fabbed wiring harness, I found no need to do so. It is possible to use the wiring that came with U.S. spec cars. Yes, it does work, and nearly 1,000 miles later, I will report no codes, ever.
