This Killer B Motorsport Windage Tray / Baffle is a top - notch upgrade for your Subaru WRX, STi, Legacy GT, and other compatible models. It fits Subaru WRX from 2002 - 2014, Subaru STi from 2004 - 2021, and Legacy GT from 2005 - 2009. It also fits all 2.5 and 2.0 Turbo WRX, STi, Legacy, Forester, and Outback models. Compared with the OEM part, it has many great features. The closed rear section stops oil from splashing into the crank during hard acceleration and aggressive shifts. Its block - contoured profile reduces interference between returning oil from the heads and the crank. Directional louvers prevent oil in the pan from splashing onto the crank. The low - profile design controls windage and quickly strips oil from the crank, reducing oil 'roping'. It also improves oil entry to the pan/pickup to prevent oil starvation. Made of stainless steel, it offers long - lasting durability and corrosion resistance. When compared with other aftermarket baffles, it uses OEM baffle mounting locations, so it's easy to install and less prone to leaks. There are no rubber parts that can sag after repeated heat cycling, and it won't break the bank! All these features mean more power as it reduces oil interference with the crank rotation, allowing it to spin freely. Less oil splashing also lowers oil temperatures.
Using this Killer B oil baffle windage tray is easy. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and cooled down. Then, follow the OEM baffle mounting locations to install it properly. Don't worry about complex installations like some other aftermarket products. When it comes to maintenance, it's quite simple. Since it's made of stainless steel, it's corrosion - resistant. But it's still a good idea to check it regularly for any signs of wear or damage, especially after long - distance drives or high - performance use. Keep an eye on the oil level and quality, as the improved oil entry design helps prevent oil starvation, but proper oil management is still crucial for your vehicle's health. Also, if you notice any unusual noises or performance changes, it's a good time to inspect the windage tray and the overall oil system.
