Not sure where "locally" is but it's a shame you don't have an indy shop to do what I consider a fairly basic job (R&R manifolds/replace almost certain broken bolts). Sounds like you need to go the catback route, given the circumstances.
With regard to Carnewal, my experience was great. I would and probably will do business with them in the future.

Carnewal is still an option, it just seems like with all those fees and messing around with so much it may not turn out to be worth my expectations?

The Cayman R exhaust is an upgrade to the PSE on your car (larger pipes), and Carnewall sells new ones with his mod already done. The shipping isn't unreasonable, and the tax was about $50. Then you could sells your PSE for a fairly good chunk of change.

Does anyone know now if the carnewall cats will be as loud/ unrestrictive as similar products mentioned (soul, fabspeed, etc.)? What I like about Soul is the warranty.

From a parallel thread, in which the concerns that I expressed were similar, https://rennlist.com/forums/987-foru...l#post18704476

Best option for you will be a valved aftermarket exhaust. You can hook up the factory vacuum lines for your PSE to the aftermarket valves and control it as if it's stock but get the additional volume you're looking for.
That said, I've got catless and the smell is really overblown IMO. The exhaust definitely is more apparent, but it's a subtle increase and only experienced if/when the wind is blowing just the right way while to car is stationary. Running high-flow "Sport" catted headers will provide the increase in sound, volume and tone you're looking for, just not cheap at all. Additionally, 200-cell cats are often not going to avoid the CEL on the 987.2 models, as the emissions system is much more sensitive than the 987.1 models.

If a company is going to guarantee no CEL, I'd go for it. I install everything myself though. If you're paying someone to install the headers, I'm guessing you'd still be on the hook paying them to install the aftermarket then again to put the factory headers back on. Fabspeed also mentioned they will guarantee their 200-cell cats against throwing a CEL, but I'm not sure if that's with factory tune or not.

What area of town are you in?
