1. You can get the Porsche part for $111 (e.g. https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/99610702304). How much are you expecting to save?
2. No need to cut the bellows. Use hose clamp pliers. The remote ones aren't junk unless you get a bad quality one.
3. The spring clamp is much easier to deal with than a screw type clamp. Access is a little limited and you don't want to try to screw the clamp in at an awkward angle. With the spring clamp, you position it, then release the pliers. You can also get a little plastic piece that holds the clamp open until you pull of the piece (e.g. https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/MA-99951263000)
4. It pretty much slides in but you need to visually inspect it (I use a mirror) to make sure it's all the way on all the way around.
5. Do it now. It will go bad and it's much easier to do it on your time schedule, not when it decides to strand you.
