your mom
I am located in West Houston off the 10 FWY and beltway 8.
a few reasons why I think I can't do it myself:
1) No tools
2) No lift to raise the car
3) Never done it myself
I do have the space and time though.

good used cheap tools can be found at your local pawn shops (I have used snap-on sockets for .25 ea from some pawn shops)
A normal 2 ton small hyd floor jack should raise the car more than enough to do the swap, these can be bought at walmart or any parts store for around $25.00 unless you need or want a large floor jack.
doing some of the small things yourself not only save you $$ but it also allows you to learn about your own vehicle. I could possibly help you out early Saturday morning or one evening after work if you're willing to drive to my house in NW Houston (290 HWY6)
It will likely take about an hour if you don't know what you're doing.
Please send me a link to the system that you bought.

Autodynamica (The Woodlands) - i did had them to install the 2nd cat bypass pipes on the cayenne.
Deviate Auto - look for Aroldo; so far I had good experience with this shop - installed the coil overs, roof wrap and fixed the damaged on the front bumper

Avoid EVS Motors....
I had them do clear bra and tint on my car. I should have known better when I dropped off the car... everyone their looked really young and they only work 10am -6pm. The clear bra was mediocre, quite a few bubbles and lint/dust under the film. Ted's response was "... you have to keep in mind its paint protection not paint". The tint job was also mediocre, again quite a few spots with debris under the film. He offered to re-do the job but there is no way I'm taking my car back there. Also, when I had dropped off my car it was pristine. It was returned to me a mess. They left trash and tools in my car. I think they are a bunch of amateurs.

Hello - Yes, it was me.
I still need to go back because IPE sent the wrong tips (I ordered black and they sent stainless) and left out the wiring diagram for the valvetronic control.
Right now it is open and will stay that way until I go back and have the valvetronic control installed.
They estimated 6-10 hours to install and it took over 20.
It was the full header to exhaust system and apparently getting to our headers is a pain.
As far as the sound, it's pretty loud, but I like it.
