It's a plate the fits in the oil pan to help redirect oil to the pickup when under hard cornering. Under heavy Gs, oil sloshes to one side of the oil pan and could starve the engine if it pickup doesn't get enough oil. The baffle plate has a set of flaps and vanes to keep the oil up high, near the pickup, while helping to keep the engine properly oiled.
