Putting the baffle in is also a really big risk that you're going to have any RTV warranty issue in the future denied - it'd be difficult to prove that the baffle didn't contribute/cause an oil-flow situation that led to RTV coming loose.

But mainly the baffle in that picture has also been shown in at least one case to have the rubber baffles come loose and partially block the oil pickup tube.

A solid one-piece solution is probably safest, but still going to give the dealership a reason to consider denying a warranty claim. Risk/reward is up to you to gauge.
Cheers Spektyr - good info and noted on the hinged windows. I think I'm going to order the Greddy piece, looks the most straight forward (and cheapest!)

I'd sure love that referenced STI baffled oil pan but can't find it for sale anywhere. (ST11109Z2000) Maybe OP Rainy, or anyone else, knows where to purchase it?
