The biggest problem you will experience with removing the heat exchangers will be breaking loose the Allen studs that hold them on. You can't really see them, since they are way up high in the tubes between the cylinders to where to exchangers sit (god, that was hard to describe). Anyway, these are a bear to do, you will need an 8" long Allen wroench to reach them, and if you can't loosen them, heat will have to be applied.
The best way to see if you can get them any cheaper, is to do some "shopping" by calling Vertex, Europroducts, PelicanParts, and even Porsche salvage yards. But if you have the time, also post a wanted ad, since many of us can sell you our old exchangers after having replaced them with SSI's.
By the way, I doubt that you are the only female on THIS board, but 911s have historically been considered a "man's" car, since few women seem to want to put up with it, and it IS somewhat "masculine" in appearance. I do know many woman who drive them, but I'll bet the ratio is something like 70% male, 30% female. But it is nice to see more women enjoying the 911......Andras
