I called them back, and at the time they told me the only solution was to put the spark arrestor back in (which again I did not know they had taken out). When I told them to put in back in, they told me the cost would be about $700.00, as a new spark arrestor is only sold with the muffler assembly. After much back and forth, they finally "found" me a spark arrestor (probably one they removed from someone else's cart), installed it in my cart, and my problem was solved. Bottom line, in may case, removing the arrestor improved performance but increased the noise the cart made to the point that it was no longer a "quiet tech". Cleaning it, if possible, or poking holes in it as some have suggested, may be the best answer. Good luck!

Probably could be cleaned if someone has the ability?
Poking holes in it will increase noise level by less restriction of exhaust. In your case plan on replacing the spark arrestor ever 3 to 5 years cause it WILL plug up again. IMO eventually the noise will be less concern due to cost of new spark arrestor for most of us?
