Group K considers R&D Pro Lock arrestors to be quite efficient for the dual 38 SBN setup. This is what I run and definitely notice an improvement over the stock setup.

SuperJet Info:
Flame Arrestors – Single Carbs - The stock flame arrestor assembly on all the single carb engines works surprisingly well, and offers good protection from heavy water exposure. For customers who don’t ride in "big water" (that exposes the engine compartment to water) an aftermarket arrestor can be an asset. We recommend the 3" tall K&N non-fiber element with a short adapter.

Dual Carb Arrestors - For all the dual 38mm carb setups, we had the best performance results with the R&D Pro Lock flame arrestor. As well as offering good performance, this arrestor slips on and off easily to allow quick access for carb adjustments. Note that the Novi carburetors must be ordered with the "Pro Lock" adapters built on, in order for this arrestor to be used on them.

Kawasaki SXR800 Info:
[h=1]Air Inlet - The stock SXR flame arrestor is a design that offers excellent protection from water in the engine compartment, and can offer very adequate air inlet access. For all our pump gas kits, the stock flame arrestor can be used (with the rubber silencing nozzles removed). For owner who is not concerned with excessive water exposure in the engine compartment, there is a small advantage from installing individual “pod” type flame arrestors. We prefer the R&D or Tau Ceti arrestor kits.

The "tornado's" are actually made by tau ceti. ( blowsion, and hot prods just put their name on them.)

IMO they are the best. I like the cone in the center, and for us have been holding up better than any others.

K&N come apart, and let metal mesh go down your carb. The Prok's are loosing their tops. R&D's are holding up well, but do not have the cone in the center.

The only issues I have with the R&D's is the lock on part. I find they don't stay on the adapters overly well. They stay on most of the time but can and do occassionally pop off from either engine vibration or harsh landings. I had one tear off at the rubber mount when I tie-strapped it on. But if you can use something to wrap over the top of them like a narrow velcro strap or something at least, then they are ok. I used tie-straps as a retainer ring under the adapters, then went over the tops of the arrestors and around the retainer straps with long straps put downward pressure on them. That held them in place really well. They definitely help the performance but do have that one drawback.
