I'm Baffled
I recently fixed an oil filler neck leak on the 86.5.
I also had a fair amount of oil in the intake as well, I never enjoyed that aspect of the car but wrote it off as "normal".
While I was in there fixing the filler neck leak, I decided to install Greg Brown's aftermarket oil baffle as well.
Attachment 799405
This is a street car, so I did not reconfigure the breathers--those are still stock. I did incorporate the stock baffle with Greg's and I got what I would consider a very good result!
Not a sales pitch, just my observation...
After 100 miles the air boxes are bone dry.

It really does make a difference, great product from a stand up guy.

Is that the same one Mark Anderson sells? First post I've seen showing real-life results, makes me tempted to pull up my manifold, replace the plastic filler with a metal one, add the baffle and have it all work like it's supposed to ...

It will help - but won't work as well as that on your GTS - you have other ways for the oil to get into the intake...
Still worth doing - I have one of Greg's like that installed

I think Mark's baffle is similar concept, but not the exact same. I had only looked at the Kuhn system and Greg's. Mr. Kuhn's looked awesome as well, just more then I thought I would need in the 86.5 street driver.
P.S. Alan, thanks for the education on the system a few weeks ago.
