According to their website, all their tanks have baffling.
"All tanks feature a unique baffle system to control fuel tank slosh. Each tank has baffles running front to rear, side to side, and surrounding the fuel pickups to eliminate fuel starvation during acceleration and hard braking."

Regardless, I think for me there a cell would be a better and more cost efficient option since I wont have a stock floor, nor do I care about trunk space.

A fuel cell will cost as much if not more then this setup. Unless you can find one used.

Why in the earth they wont do that for every tank ? Is the labor and materials really 1000 bucks more compared to that "semi baffling" they are offering as stock ??...

guys, its a stock replacement tank, thats what its meant to be just in stainless, it has minimal baffling and does not work well on low fuel levels,.
you will spend 1k to 1500 on a nice fuel safe cell with an outer wrapper and inner bladder, which is the only way to go if your talking road course days etc.
