i think its 2 1/2 or 2 3/4 but the key is to use about a 3 or 4 inch piece of radiator hose (about the same diameter) as a connector if you will so the sparky doesnt actually touch your silencer. youll have to clean your sliencers after cuz of the oil build up but its better then them being all scratched up.

forgot to mention use hose clamps over the hose to connect to silencer and sparky

I just installed the Sparky 2 1/2 inch spark arrestors on my Shearers.

I used some billet clamps to hold them on

Thank you guys very much, where did you get the billit clamps? Where are you guys buying your sparkys, 75$ a piece sound about right?

 

 

 

Thanks

The billet clamps were machined myself, I don't think there are any available anywhere for sale.

 

Yes about $70-$75 each is about right.

I put a set of Trinity Spark arrestors on my CPI's because I didnt like the look of the clamp on sparkies. The trinity silencer body was made out of the same size tubing. The core was larger on my cpi's so I just drilled the spark arrestor's end cap out. Even put a step back in to it so the core wouldn't slide out. There wasnt much room for error bacuse the back side is all machined out so you have to center it up in a drill press pretty good.

Interested in making some more? How much would somethin like that run?

does "radiator hose" hold up against the heat?

I'm too busy with my regular machining jobs now, hopefully in the future I might make some Banshee parts for sale though.

Nice work on those, they look great and don't stick out too far.

I need to make a longer grab bar for mine because the sparky's added alot of length.

They would have stuck out farther but I also trimed the silencer body down 1.5 inch. The hole that held on the cpi's end cap would have caused the tip to be crooked so they needed to be re drilled any way.
