Is this difficult to install? Is it worth getting?

I have never heard of this brand. I have B&M, it was relativley easy to install and works great. I ordered mine from summit. Hope this helps.
I just read.. $72.
Porsche parts are never that cheap.. Stay away from it.

Hi,
Reviews are mixed. Any Short Shifter works by sacrificing Mechanical Advantage for Throw Distance. It does nothing to make the car faster, nor will it make you a better driver.
Many have complained of unacceptable increase in notchiness, and at least 1 member here reverted back to the original shifter. Personally, I think the money is better spent on Maintenance items or other upgrades. If mine were a Manual Tranny, (and I have driven both the 5 and 6 Spds), I wouldn't do this Mod.
The kit may shorten the throw, but realize, the OEM throw isn't really very long to begin with, especially as compared to many past Sports Cars, or even some others produced today. FYI - B&M makes the Optional Short Shifter for Porsche...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Conrad..my suggestion to you on how to spend money for your box, beside the wheels, is as follows:
-D/E (Drivers Ed)
-A/X (Auto Cross)
-Track (Mazda Speedway)
*assuming that you want performance upgrade but if you want exterior upgrade:
-Lights = Done
-Wheels = not yet
-Lowering = option
-Suspension = option
-GT3 kit = might take awhile
Next month Im going AX, I'll take you with me so both of us will shart in our pants coz' that will be my first time going

Shifter...
That looks exactly the same as a B&M knock off. I don't see why it would not be the any different. I think it would be a SAFE buy. It has all of the part and they probably re-named it under they own brand so they could not be sued. Same as B&M.
