husker boxster · 07-04-2014, 03:16 PM

So I run across a fancy oil baffle that's supposed to be an improvement on the X51 design. I'm in the process of installing it and I see the factory baffle. Not sure I like the new one better than the original. The original kind of looks like a cofferdam. Thought the new one would be a good idea since I use my CSS for DEs. Am I overthinking this? Should I install the new one?

1st pic is original, 2nd is new one.
