Its been a while since I've had thermo dynamics in college and I might be a bit rusty but as far as I can tell that box is doing nothing other than looking awkward. I'm not trying to bash the design, just haven't been able to wrap my mind around how it's better than whats already available and would love to be educated.
Looking at the sketch, they're going for a velocity stack setup. Just do a search on google and you'll learn all you need to know about the science behind velocity stacks.

In for dyno results.
