It is a screen you put in the end of your exhaust. It cuts down on noise and it is supposed to defuse flames comming out of the exhaust from what I heard. Its cuts down on performance a hair but probably cant tell the difference. I dont run one on my bike.

I knew i was on the right track. Here is what Wiki says....
A spark arrestor is a device intended to prevent combustible materials, usually sparks or other tiny flaming debris, from escaping into areas where they might start fires.

They are most commonly used in conjunction with motor vehicles (inserted into the muffler), as well as improving safety within fireplaces, and various electrical equipment. Often, a spark arrestor mimics a net fashioned from tightly interwoven wire gauze built to resist bits of ash, sparks or other such dangers.
