Earthy you can always buy something like this and attach it to your stock muffler.....not sure what engine you have Briggs, Tecumseh or something else.

That is more of a exhaust deflector than an arrestor OND.
Muffler should have a Stainless steel screen inside.
Now days they use Titanium screen because it lasts longer than stainless.
Chain saw mufflers have spark arrestors and most are removable and replaceable.
Taylor mufflers have a removable end so you can clean or replace the screen, it would be stainless.

Only problem with a Taylor muffler is the cost. Same with these Titanium screen's
I'd take my muffler apart, put a stainless screen 0.023 in it then put it back together.
With any luck, ya might be able to do it so its easy to take apart again, for a new screen or cleaning.?
Ex;
An No, I have never done this. So its pure Idea. ( correct Screen size 0.023 )
Did some research;
Forest Service Standard 5100-lb fall into a special category. They are intended for use on small engine applications. All exhaust products must pass through the screen, which has openings of 0.023-inch or less. the effective exhaust area of the screen (total area of all screen openings) shall not be less than 200 percent of the engine exhaust port area at its smallest cross-section. Screen material shall be heat and corrosion resistant, and shall provide at least 100 hours of service life. These are originally qualified for all the positions described in the "Application Positions" section.

I always sold the J & R Kirzman that came in 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch pipe threads and hey always hade the forest approval stamped in the chrome body. I used some Gill arresters for the bigger two stroke engines. When your out and get stopped by a ranger or police it often falls into why did they stop you in the first place.
