I never got a quote, but from what I've read 4-5 hours at $120+ an hour labor.....$5-600? That's awfully high, your quote is for a S not a base right? That sounds reasonable for the extra labor for a base. Assuming you have a S, it's not too bad of a DIY, I'm of average mechanical ability. Maybe some local RL's can babysit for a few beers?

Correct the tips are the big ticket item, there's a few other odds and ends like the muffler brackets ($100+ total) that should be easily reusable. With programming you should be right around the $1,500 mark. I had some warranty work done so they didn't charge me, but from what I hear it's about they charge about an hours worth of labor for it (also with some minor other shop fees).
My bank account isn't nearly the size of 99% of the people on here, but that being said, if you can DIY, I think it's worth it!

That's ludicrous. Really not a bad DIY, lift helps, but definitely not necessary. I didnt know what I was doing and was able to do it in less than 4. No extra parts even!

The base might take a bit more since you need to wire in the vacuum lines but 5700 is still waaaay overpriced IMO

Thanks so much for all this information!! I have an S lacking the PSE, this is fantastic and will be following your lead shortly
When you said Sunset, do you mean Porsche in Beaverton? That is where I live and just curious who you ordered your parts through?
Thanks!

Just to give a couple additional data points. I have a 2012.5 C2S and two Chicagoland Porsche dealers quoted $1700 and $1900 for installation. Going to look for less expensive alternatives.

Maybe try a good reputable indie shop that specializes in Porsche? I'm going to see what they'll quote me.
