Oregon dunes = spark arrestor?

I haven't been to the dunes much in the last few years but used to go a lot and plan to start going again. I see spark arrestors are now required and my bike has been running non-SA silencers in the dunes since '97. I'll probably end up getting some FMF Turbine Cores eventually, just wondering if this is something the park rangers are enforcing.

No I have never been checked for spark aresstors. I have no idea why they would check you I have been pulled over many times and have never had anyone say something about that. They are cracking down on the saftey cards you need to have so make sure you get online and take care of that.

I have never been sound checked on the oregon dunes since I started riding there back when I was 13. I'm 33 now. I'm guess I am just lucky. Most of the time I got nailed was for missing flags that broke going through the trees on my dirtbikes or banshee and I did get checked for the atv card. Just another way to make money.

They used to be very strict on the sound. If you are making an effort and pack your silencers, they leave you alone. I have never heard mention of spark arrestors required in the dunes and have never been checked for them. Get your safety card and carry it with you, they will ticket you for not having it on your person. It seems like the only time they check sound a bunch is on the busy holiday weekends.
