The one that was on my fl350 w/DG pipe just had a large hose clamp around it. It always stayed in place and never had any issues

well sadly i could not find one big enough to slide over the stock pipe. this one fits inside the stock pipe. that's my problem really.

I hate them sparky spark arrestors they can be a pain in the ass, first I sealed mine with black silicone sealer then put the screws in and tighten them snugly then take a large hose clamp and put it around and over the top of the sheet metal screws so they cant back out.

You can use 3/16 pop rivets but vibration will get to them sooner or later and make them vibrate loose too.

ok sounds like a plan, so like 6 inline screws and a hose clamp around them. and silicone. thanks
