Default API baffled sumps- anyone got a view

Anyone got an API baffled sump? I have been looking at one or the Lateral Performance, but the API is 300 cheaper, so wondered if anyone had one?

From expererience: If David sells it, you can put your money behind it! Judging by the reputation they've gained on here, same applies to Lateral AFAIK, so you pays your money... Given em both a phone would be my suggestion.

API sump is a standard sump with a few welds, the Lateral sump is a "proper" baffled sump

I think you are referring to the older style sump that API did (c £150)... I know, because I had it on mine. Never had a problem with it....

API now supply the "proper" baffled (provided by Prodrive I believe) as well for more money. I'm just upgrading mine to it

That is the exact one, I was referring to Rossi. Not seen the later style one, would be interesting if you get some pics up before you put it on for comparison purposes

Well I have ended up ordering the Prodrive one from API so will let you all see what its like- its 350 plus a 50 pickup pipe and vat.

Would have got it from lateral performance but api called back first, but theirs is supposed to be the dogs too!
