I have a silencer on the end of my DG exhaust and I remove the spak arrestor all the time when not needed.

I think the bike runs better without it it's just some places you have to have one for thier laws.

take it off and run it a while,

Jomama

If your riding in dry brushy areas, It might be a good thing to keep it on. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] just my .02¢

It does allow the exhaust to flow a little better. At risk of starting a fire. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

You do not want to get caught by the DNR without that in. Some places it's a hefty fine, as well as impounding the quad.

You're better off getting a good pipe and leaving the arrestor in.
