I removed the spark arrestor on my 2020 - I think it runs great. FYI - I initially pulled out the screen as I could not reach the arrestor's clamp with a wrench. The cart was certainly louder! I then drilled a small hole in the plastic to reach the arrestor's 6 mm clamp bolt to try re-screening the arrestor. Amazingly, the cart was noticeably quieter and now have just left the arrestor off.

So, since the arrestor is not a replaceable part - I'd recommend one only remove the arrestor (6 mm hex wrench) and not punch a hole in it (and for reasons I can't explain - the my cart is quieter with the arrestor removed rather punching a hole in the screen).
