As it name implies, it's sole purpose is to prevent the remote chance a spark though the exhaust system accidentally starts a fire if a vehicle with this engine set up sets dry grass on fire. I removed the spark arrestor off my 2018 Quiet tech with no issues. There maybe a slight one or two decibel increase in noise if that.
Running higher octane fuel(yes it costs more) and occasional fuel injector cleaner with a new tank of gas every fifth or sixth fill up has greatly improved my carts performance.
