Default Flame arrestor for a 2006 merc 5.0

Does anyone no of a decent performance flame arrestor for a 2006 mer 5.0 MPI? I've done a few searches and end up finding 5 1/8 ones for 4150 carbs and those wont work for my engine.

Do I use my base or something. If anyone has any pics of this motor with a performance arrestor, post them up please.

Thanks

I see you have listened to me. Those from merc are so poorly designed - The carb app ones are just as bad and those break apart internally

IMO flame arrestors need to offer a form of filtration - Never seen an engine that likes to suck down belt dust, carpet fibers and fiber glass dust - and whatever else that fly's around in the engine compartment. And the IAC sure does not that junk either.

I know some people are going to say you do not need filtration --- there is no dust out on the water
