Okay, so the question of spark arrestors has been put in my sights, so:

What, if any, OEM spark arrestor options exist for this bike with the stock factory silencer?

What options exist in the aftermarket that may work with the factory silencer?

Or, am I simply left with the FMF TurbineCore 2 option?

Also, what IS the factory exhaust setup on here? Who makes the stuff that's on my bike, 100% stock?

I'm not sure what is stock, but both my 01 XC250 and 03 DE300 have the FMF TurbineCore 2 and both silencer's are stamped that they have Spark Arrestor's and USFS approved.

Has anybody used a Cobra Sparky? I took a measurement of the outside of the pipe, caliper said it's 2.75 inches. The closest Cobra Sparky is 2 7/8". Will it clamp down on my pipe?

2.75 would mean 2 3/4 inches, which would leave the silencer about 1/8 too big ... might work with some kind of washer ... or possible clamping down ..but why bother when the fmf t2 is the spec silencer and will clamp right on???

Was hoping not to have to buy the T2, but it's looking more and more as if I will have to. Ah, well.

You could shim your Sparky with some cut inner tube. It's not a bad option, but you'll need to drill, tap, and clamp. You don't want to lose that thing.

Nah, just decided to order the TC2. I'm fairly certain I'll be more happy with that.
