What this does is stop the circular flow of gasses in that section of pipe...and...it divides the pipe into 2 pipes so the the frequency would be twice the original.
The nice ting here...is that there is very little reduction in pipe flow capability.
This used to work on old aircraft engines and some older cars.

Sounds like the philosophy behind the "delta flow" dividers inside a Flowmaster muffler. Supposedly by dividing the sound wave in half, then having it merge back onto itself helps cancel noise and resonance without negatively impacting flow.
