What he describes is currently available from EBS Racing with metal doors instead of the rubber used on the OEM Porsche X51 baffle.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Greetings gents,
With all the hub-bub going on with trying to find a set of baffles for the oil pans, my race shop, J3 Motorsports in Buford, GA liked the design that I have created for my Carrera.
They have moved forward to produce a number of these. And, at this moment CAD has been done as well as the first prototype. Upon checking the fitment, parts are presently being CNC cut for assembly.
I have notified them of the interest on this board about the baffles. What they would like to know is how many people would be interested in buying this.
I am on the list already as I want to replace my riveted prototype with a welded version.
FAQ:
Q: Will this baffle set bolt onto my existing pan?
A: Yes this baffle will bolt onto your existing oil pan.
Q: Is this pan similar to the X51 oil baffles?
A: Yes, while similar it is better quality with full metal, welded components.
Q: What is the Price?
A: As I am not affiliated with J3, I do not know at this time. I will likely find out later today, if not Monday.
Q: Would a group buy be possible?
A: Likely, if I knew how many are interested. I will ask them today.
Q: Will the baffles work on a 3.6L?
A: Yes, the baffles work on 3.4 & 3.6L engines.
Any other questions, please post in the thread. I will be heading up there in about 3-4 hours (today 01/25/08). Please note, I am not affiliated with J3 at all. They simply are fabricating baffles for me.
Thanks,
Chad
A quick reminder...while everyone here is looking for a "reasonable price", I will remind you not to speculate on what the pricing will be just yet. Please keep in mind, this will not be a factory, mass produced component. It will be a hand-made custom baffle. Again...let's not speculate until the final price comes in.
I am in the same boat. Hoping for a nicely priced component as well.
Thanks,
C.
Update - baffles panels have been fabricated (CNC cut) and the brackets are being fabricated as I type.
The price point has not been determined. More information will be available on Monday.
C.
The baffles are 95% complete. Pricing will be comparable to the stock plastic baffle system, but will be the following:
Details:
1. Custom metal baffle doors (welded to baffles)
2. CNC cut stainless panels and frames
3. Teflon "gaskets" around edges to help seal baffles area to pan/block
4. Bolts directly to any stock 996 3.4L & 3.6L oil pan
5. Dimensions are similar to X51 oil baffles
6. Pricing will be comparable to stock baffles.
For ordering this baffle, please contact J3 Motorsport individually as I do not have any affiliation with them.

I will be pulling the prototype in my car out and putting in the final product. Photos are not available as of yet. They still waiting for some of the CNC parts to arrive.

I recently installed a Tarret X51 style baffle before a DE at Watkins Glen, this time did not see oil pressure do any drops during high G turns.
So it did work as intended.
Good to hear. Looks like Tarret is reselling the same one made by EBS Racing. Pelican as well. Some have black and some have orange seals, they changed at some point.
Nickshu,
What year and tying car are you running? The 05 -08 Carreras's oil pressure gauge has some kind of 2-3 second continuously averaging thing going on - which unnoticed severely damp quick and Brief drops in oil pressure. It becomes harder to detect oil pressure drops than the 996 cars. I just switched from a 996 to a 997.1.
I'm surprised the different trapped door x51 version actually worked.
