nater006 Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 They shouldn't "burn out". They're basically just a screen that keeps hot chunks of carbon from flying out and starting fires. It may get clogged and need to be cleaned out, but the only time it would ever really need replacing is if the screen gets damaged or similar.

revedup04 Posted July 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 yea i took it apart and there is no screen. do you think a piece of wire mesh would work. what is a spark arrester made out of? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nater006 Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 All the ones I've dealt with were just a heavy wire mesh.. not like window screen Rigid stuff. but yeah, that's all they do at SL.. insert a f lexible rod and if it stops, you should be good. if not.. well...you're not good. If yours just got rusted out or something and fell apart, replacing it with a custom deal might be okay. If you're trying to dump some mesh in some other silencers... well.. they may check for the US Forest Service Approved stamp on them and you won't be able to get by. Not sure though..
