WTB 502 EFI Flame Arrestor
 
I don't know how to delete a thread or change the title, so I started a new one. I'm looking to buy a 502 EFI flame arrestor. I would like the Hardin Marine one, but I guess they are pretty rare so...
I would like to buy the square style that Vortech made. I don't care what brand they are (Vortech, Teague, AZ Speed, Etc). I added a pic for reference.

Thank you in advance!

i waited 6 months for AZSM to make me one and they never got to it. so i had a machine shop by me make me one. frustrating that they would have stopped making them.

The only one I could find out there new was the k&n and the gaffrig. I'm surprised that the support for the 502 and 454 efi is already gone.

exactly what i thought. its like they dropped everything to catter to the 496s. did you try az? they kept telling me next month for 6 months!! wonder if they ever started making them?

No. I got one used through Facebook. The problem is that Vortech made them all and sent them out to be machined with the logo (Teague, AZ, etc.).

Some of those aftermarket FA are very restrictive , Smitty here on the board did some dyno testing with several of them.

I went through that whole thread. The best two were the orginal old style factory ones (fugly) and the square Vortech style. I already have the very restricted k&n with the adapter.
I thought the orginal was too fugly so I went for the Vortech style. I got the AZ speed marine branded one.

freekazoid 03-15-2019 04:18 PM

i guess the key is NOT to use the oil on the filters. the hardin marine steel screen ones are awesome. there the same material as stock but crazy expensive. my buddy bought them for his "million dollar fountain" 25 more hp on his engine dyno!

The huge reason why new parts and suppliers go away cause most people will not buy NEW unless if its like impellers, gaskets and pistons and rings and so forth. And the reason why new made parts are so expensive is because of warranty coverage and not enough volumes sold to boaters. The marine industry for I/O s are not stocking new parts like in the past. Impellers YES other stuff nope, it will be very hard down the road to get alot of this stuff for what is 20 years old currently.
