I don't have an LS6 but I did baffle a pan in an older car. Make a cardboard mock up of the baffle you would like and make the metal part from there.

I've modified pans for circle track cars. It is not real hard. I'm just wondering if anyone does it on Corvettes. There has been lots of thread chatter on accusumps and oil starvation and some on aftermarket road race pans but none on fairly simple baffles and traps that can be added to a stock pan. Apparently there is some chance of oil starvation on long left hand sweepers, a hinged baffle on the right side of the pickup could be beneficial.

Replaced the bat wing on my Z06 with an LS2 Pan , no place for oil to hide , The bat wing is still draining some oil out sitting in the garage after being off the engine 5 months . \
