Is anyone familiar with this product from Mantissport:

It extends the sump depth and oil pickup, similar to other products, but also includes a sheet metal windage tray that sits below the stock baffle but above the pickup, presumably further confining oil around the pickup. Website doesn't say how thick it is, but it appears thicker than the BK or LN Engineering units. Its also twice the price. My engine's sump sits flush to the rear cross-member, and lowering the sump by even a half inch make me nervous about getting it whacked in an off-course excursion.

Wow that is thick. I guess you would have to think of what your goal is. Have you installed the x-51 oil pan? I have scratches on the lowest part of my engine assembly from pretty calm street driving and some auto crossing.
I remember seeing a VERY low oil pan (with protection plate) on a couple of highly developed I/H class 996 cars last year and it seems they never scraped them on the track.
Also, I would compare the potential lower height oil pan with the rest of your car's suspension bits (especially in the front) to see what would "hit first" when one takes the car "agricultural."
Not sure that I see much need for
more
oil on these cars, but I have no evidence or data to support my position.
I just installed
the X51 pan
to help keep the oil near the pickup.
The x51 pan is going in for sure.
The question is whether this is sufficient or is a sump extension also needed.
From reading the installation notes, this extension must be 1 inch -- they refer to 1" spacers and the need for 1.5 liters of added oil volume. I think they went deeper in order to get the oil pickup below the added windage tray.
This would put the pan 1" below my rear crossmember and it would certainly be the lowest part back there. Yes, there are lower things up front, but they're not connected to a very big, expensive part, like an engine!
Perhaps the 1/2" extension and a skid plate is the way to go.
It would be nice to see some oil pressure data. I may even have it if the data-acq system in this new-to-me car is working properly, but I don't yet have the software to view it.

As Whitey stated, an accusump is the way to go. The oil sump extension is a waste. There is PLENTY of oil in the M96 system so the last thing you need is another liter sitting in the sump.
My boxster race car has the X51 baffled pan and the accusump. Wouldn't have it any other way.
