Kyle:

It is. The only thing that makes it difficult is that the OE battery cable is inside a sleeve that Ys off with the alternator wires. I wound up cutting the old cable in half right where it Y's off and leaving the alternator wires the way they were. I then got under the car and disconnected the cable at the starter and pulled the cable down and out of the sleeve. I cut the battery terminal end off the new cable and fed the new cable up from the bottom (not through the old sleeve as that looked impossible). I'm sure you could buy the entire thing from Porsche for some outrageous amount but why? I replaced the OE tie wraps after routing the new cable where the old one was. I got new solid brass battery terminals and then also replaced the other connectors on the positive side. I took the ground off and used a Dremel w/ a wire brush to clean the ground connection to the body. A little dielectric grease and back together w/ everything. It was amazing how the car spun faster to start. The alternator light is totally out and I am probably imagining it but I had a kind of hesitation in second gear if I really did WOT. That is now gone also. It's probably the best $40 total I ever spent on the car. Make sure you put a couple layers of heat shrnk on the new connector where it attaches to the starter as the connection is pretty close to the body and would obviously make "maximum smoke" if it touched.
