Spark arrestor install

[Darryl223]

Got my spark arrestor installed, the way they did the exhaust for the turn I couldn't make one fit before.  Only had .045 dual shield on hand but I made it work.  Didn't get enough discs so I didn't put the cap on yet.  Turned out pretty good though.  One photo shows how it was, elbow too short to mount anything to.  Also would've put on top of the tire.

Where did you get your spark arrestor?  I need one and I need to be assured that it will fit my Renegade 1100cc exhaust system.  It should be similar to the Trooper system.

       I got it on amazon, it’s made by empi.  They have several configurations.  They’re made for Volkswagens of higher displacement so I figured this would get me the flow I need, I run 24 discs with a turbo.

          That being said my exhaust came modified because I bought my unit with the unleashed motorsports turbo kit installed. I had to cut the elbow off the cat and weld on a 2” straight section to mount this to, then I made a bracket to support it.  What they gave me was no muffler and an elbow pointing right at the tire, no way to mount a spark arrest  which meant I basically couldn’t take it any where legally.  One of several reasons I wasn’t impressed with their turbo install, but they said I’d void the warranty on the trooper if I installed it myself so I had no choice.

I installed this spark arrestor on my Joyner Renegade 1100cc a few months ago.  It's actually made for VW engines up to 1600cc.  Works vert well.  Extends about 2" past the rear of the tail gate.
