There was talk of baffling a pan, is there a how to..
or is every one buying baffled pans?

I searched baffle and baffel no results

 

search "oil pan" in this forum archive.

 

so its nothing but the flat plate on top?

So all d series pans come stock baffeled?
like the stock on in here

Those are really horrible pictures, but I don't think it's baffled, because they don't come baffled stock.

Here are some better pictures of a baffled oil pan:

well all baffled pans i have seen have a layer of sheet mtal that surroundsd the oil pickup...and thats it for the spoon and the mugen ones..

If you look at a d16 oil pan its the same stock...
there is no area that you can see the bottom of the oil pan like you can on the b16 or the b18 pans...

So it seems that d16 pans are baffeled stock..

I wish I had a better pic

 

Spoon oil pan: http://hybrid2.honda-perf.org/japan99/oilpan03.jpg

 

old mugen

 

but the new gsr pans are stock pans with two peices of sheetmetal added...

 

stock d series civic.

 

So what else could you do to baffle that?

Looks like the end result of a baffled B series pan...
