Rtv red is the high temp stuff. Black might be ok.

Here is a vid.

I know nothing about spark arrestors other than they have screens and perforated interiors. I'm a track queen.

And gay? :gayfight:

I use the blue rtv I like it to come off easier when it comes to another repack and cleans up the mess better. and heat in that area is not a big deal on a 2T. Good on you for caring about that raspy noise, a lot of people don't.

I was going to talk about grinding to get the rivets out but seeing the way the discussion turned I don't think I will. I have good luck using a 7/16 drill bit on a rechargeable. Then a small phillips head screwdriver to push the remains out. pop rivets seem to work best for putting it all back, but metal screws will work too. just keep an eye on them, then tend to fall out.
