Anyone have any experience with this DCT Pan

I am looking to swap out my DCT pan with one that holds more fluid. I was looking at this one but could not find any write-ups from people that bought it. If you don't have any experience with this one, please share with me the one you have. Looking to get this swapped out ASAp. Thanks.

Those look nice, and the price is right. I would have seriously considered these had I seen them a few months ago. I recently installed the BMS pan which is similar in size to the Big Mama. Just be forewarned that the larger pan will lower your ride clearance, and you will need to remove or cut out the undertray. With the BMS pan, I have 3” clearance (with new tires), but I’m running a 275/35 square setup and swift-r springs, so your experience may differ. That being said, I have not come across a speed bump or speed hump I can’t clear (knock on wood). You just have to keep the pan in mind when exploring new roads, neighborhoods, shopping mails, restaurants etc.

I also think the Mini Me will be popular for most people looking to simply upgrade from plastic to billet aluminum. For a street only car, that would be my pick.

I just pulled the trigger. I keep reading they are great pans but you may wait for a while to get it. I kinda need this asap. If this doesn't work out I will definitely be waiting for a pkg from mother Russia. SYT_Shadow thanks again for chiming in every time I had a question I know some are silly but if I don't ask I will not know. Thanks again

Where are the baffles on the inside of the pan? Both the stock and Slon pans have baffles.
