I would imagine something with backpressure, or lack there of. Even with no description makes me think its just another bogus eBay muffler.

I've seen some mufflers like this before that come on designed cat-backs, it says mugen style, but i don't ever recall seeing a mugen muffler lke that. I beleiev DC sport used that type of muffler on one of thier cat back styles.
The only positive i can see is that it is running the exhaust through the muffler twice, making it quieter possibly.

here is the thing.
it makes so that it is not longer a straight thru muffler, making it legal in most places, BUT it is still straigth-thru!

Whenever I see "STYLE", I immediately think that it's a cheap knock-off of another product and I suspect this is the case. Perhaps it would be worth checking out the original Mugen product, if there is one.

Before F&F was in the theatres and rice was cool, Mugen released a system like that. I remember SCC Magazine testing it, the whole purpose of the loop was to reduce noise by cycling the exhaust through the muffler again, and since a straight through muffler has basically no back pressure anyway it didn't affect performance.

I think HKS used that style too. (nissans).
the loop is used instead of baffles. supposedly it makes the exhaust quiet, without adding back pressure.
