Installation is a breeze, no need to remove the rear bumper cover. I was able to put a Switchpath in my car in 90 minutes once on the jacks using common hand tools.
I did find it too loud for my tastes, however - and took advantage of their 'satisfaction guaranteed' policy and returned it after just 50 miles on the car. On any aftermarket pipe that deletes the center muffler entirely, they are going to be considerably louder. I have a new Tubi exhaust in my garage right now waiting to go on the car.

I got AWE switchpath installed on my 991 3.4L C2 non-pse. I'm using stock side mufflers, my installer fabricated the outlet pipes of the stock side mufflers since it doesnt match the quad exhaust tips.
I get very loud drone when valves open up (3.5k -4.5k rpm), which is quite annoying.
My idle now is at 610-670rpm and also is rougher(more vibrations), specially after cold start. Switching to sport mode ups the idle rpm and makes it smoother.
Do you guys have this issue?

Startup is loud and stays loud for a little longer than I would like but that is a Porsche design not AWE. There shouldn't be any added vibrations if installed properly.
It might be noteworthy that mine is a C4S so I am not sure how that'll differ from the base. I did the install myself and everything seems to be perfect (in regards to how it was designed to operate).

I dont have any drone either, but I'm a 3.8L. I also had some vibration at low RPM, but after re-torquing all the bolts it went away. Re-torquing has solved the vibration for many folks, give it a shot.

I have one, would definitely recommend! If you want to scare the **** out of everyone in a 5 mile radius, be sure to add a set of catless headers! 
3x the price though....love both of those companies' work, but the AWE is pretty great IMO

What's wrong with AWE's workmanship? Have you seen their factory, the process, and technology they use? It's pretty incredible. Check it: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/9281...nt-thread.html
AWE and iPE. I know which one I would choose.
