hp2000 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I cut up a spare spark arrestor I had and put the mesh behind the end cap of my t5's. I have passed inspection each time I go to a place that requires them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 umm ya it will. tack welded in some metal drain screens to the end of my old fmf silencers, it passed. Ok, well late last year I saw that backfire on a guy at Silverlake. DNR had a laptop with software that listed pics and styles of every approved silencer. His silencer didn't have the U.S.F.S stamp on the side. Even though he did the screen mod and their probe test acted like it was fine, the guy still checked the list. It showed that the silencer never came with a spark arrestor. (They had pics of every style silencer offered by that manuacturer.) He got lucky because Duneland still had a sparky clamp on arrestor that fit his pipe. It cost him $79 to buy it and get in the dunes. But they don't make those anymore and Duneland's supply is getting to be almost zero. So I would hate to see someone drive 4-6-8 hours and get turned away at the gate. Hell, I had the Trinity spark arrestor tips on my old Trinity pipes and I could NEVER get past the inspection point till at least 2 guards heard my story. (They don't see alot of Trinity pipes. Trinity makes a tip that holds a U.S.F.S screen from a 4 stroke pipe, but they don't STAMP the tips with the U.S.F.S logo because they never paid to have it officialy approved.) One time I had to show them an add for the silencers from dirtwheels just to get them to approve entry. So...I'm not saying...I'm just saying. Roll the dice if you want, but be ready with plan B.

Hey Windy, Alba used to sell a spark aresstor kit that went into your silencer. I think the part number was SA-01 also had a sticker too. Would that work there? what if you had the kit and the sticker fell off? IDK if they still sell it, or if they are still in business, I think they changed ownership or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
