They've reduced the baffles' prices for turner and bimmerworld too I believe.

Is it true that the baffles really are not that more effective than stock?

I recently heard that dual pickup is the only way to go to be totally effective.

I have tracked my car for years with no baffles and have not had any issues. I do not have an accurate oil pressure guage but I would love to hear some thoughts...


Good luck with the search! btw

I can sell you my brand new VAC baffle for $150 + shipping(losing $50 when I bought it for $200 + shipping before I had a chance to install). I also have a dual pick up off an E46 M3.

I ordered mine (for my 330ci) from VAC motorsports and it arrived 2 days later with regular shipping.

and they are running them on sale right now for $159.

this is the one you'll want:

I still haven't hooked up an oil pressure gauge yet but it has taken care of the ticking I used to experience after a hard auto-x. the car used to sound like a time bomb after a couple runs, now its just as quiet afterwards as it was at the beginning so I do believe its helping to some extent.

Trying using 15w50 oil.
I just switched over to that and now my motor likes hard driven track days. No more time bomb
