You could try to replace the bolts and gasket between the downpipe and cat, but here is my experience: I replaced exhaust system behind the cat, and a few months later the cat went out. I replaced the cat, and a few months later I started getting exhaust leaks in the downpipe. I looked for a used downpipe but found out that at the Pick-n-Pulls that cut out all the catalytic converters (probably a federal or state law). And of course they don't make the cut on the cat side of the flange, they make the cut on the downpipe side of the flange so the downpipes are useless.

I think if it's at the state where the exhaust system is going, it's going. When this happens you're probably best off by just replacing the entire system from the downpipe back.
