y u need a spark arrestor in the first place?

 

[FLOTEK]

nobody ever said it was a cheap hobby

 

[Trick440]

Thats for sure Flotek... They do got the universal ones for $50. So we'll see, I gotta get something.

And I need a spark arrester, cause apperently we got alot of trees and dry leafs in michigan and they dont want em burnt down. I've been stopped on the trails before, and they check.. We already have loud exhausts they trouble us about.

hahah when we were goin to the dunes theyd poke a stick in our exhaust to see if there was one in there.. so we twisted up some chicken wire and stuck it through the baffle a bunch of times lol

This hobby is cheaper than modifying cars...that's one of the reasons I love it.

True story. The headers and x-pipe on my z06 were 1500 thats not including the catback that was on it when I got it. It is like 900-1000 bucks
makes a 300 dollar full exhaust seem cheap I:I

Why would you need a spark arrester to ride in sand? Are they afraid your gonna make a bunch of micro chips and export them or something?

 

[Street2uned]

Dune grass is very dry. Wouldn't take much to ignite one and the winds would surely spread it quickly. I think the possibility of such an event is highly unlikely, but those agencies wouldn't take a chance like that.

Some of the dunes that I've been to in Michigan weren't just huge mounts of fine sand that spanned over a few miles. It was along the beaches and there are homes along the beach, etc.
