Are these 2 fixes offered my Porsche, Could i go buy them at the dealer?

RN,
Do you have Autozone in your neck of the woods?

I called Mobil 1 a while back asking about those big 3 quart jugs they sell at Wal-Mart from time to time and they said while those jugs were not available for 0 weight they directed me to Autozone as as one of their biggest distributors.
The price I paid at Autozone was the lowest going aside from going to Wal-Mart which is a hassle I needn't be bothered with. I don't how the Wal-Mart experience is elsewhere but up here it means waiting on some long ass line after chasing down a clerk who has no idea what Mobil 1 is and why the shelf is empty for 0 weight. Not to mention there's something just wrong about buying oil for a fine German sports car at a place that sells Big Macs. Something is differently wrong with America when this is the biggest employer in the country.

Hmm the second link... the PDF looks alot easier to install. Any idea how much that spacer costs?

EDIT: I called a vendor in Las Vegas, Looks like it comes with the spacer, new Baffle and screws for about $230... I probably will get it in the next month cause i WANT to track my car but havent yet... just would be nice to have peice of mind.
