Don't Feel Bad
My dealer is actually pretty good, but we went around and around on the job. I sent them the directions from SW, and I didint have time to take the car to a buddies shop to install. Hell I just spent 160k, and they gave me some free stuff and a great deal on my trade. So I said what the hell .......see picture and yes he took, 4 hours I watched most of it while chatting with the guys in the bay.

Serious man ..........I had to travel and didn't have a lot of time. They called of the clear bra guy , and the tint guy. I had the SM pull out the install guide, and yes that was the directions even for the 991. Now of course they can not go by the book, and I actually like the dealer. But honestly I don't like someone telling me my job at my place of business. This was the first 2015 that hit the lot last October, and possibly a revised shop guide is out now. Therefore I hope this makes you all feel a lot better. The guy took his time, and well I can say it was well done(:

I'm sure they just tried to charge you the OEM muffler swap book rate. Good thing you were there.

Drifting
Definitely find a local race shop that specializes in Porsche to do stuff like this. I'm lucky, Bill Rudtner (who is the head instructor for Metro PCA and also races himself) has a shop in the next town. He's got a cult following at his shop. See if there is someone like that around you.

Burning Brakes
North Houston is actually very good but definitely stay away from Momentum. I called Momentum service for cost and schedule of an oil change for my GT3 and the service adviser asked me which Porsche that was. Try C & B European Automotive. Craig is familiar with GT3's. He did my Shark Works mod with rear bumper in place in under one hour. Oil change was $37 plus oil and parts which he let me bring. West side of Houston.
