Is it good to have an L shape port or just a "straight" port

Need more. Generally a port is in an L shape simply because it's too long for the one dimension and needs to bend.

"Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

I guess that all depends. How big is the box? Where are you puting the port? If you need it to L shaped to fit in the box them L is better. If its short enough to be straight then straight is better. You don't want turbulent air but if you build it the right size it doesn't matter.

What I'm really trying to say is there is no real difference. The best ports don't get in the way of air moving, no matter what shape.

Your port length varies depending on how many cubic inches your port is and the volume of your box and what your trying to tune the box too.... You will get a L shape port only if you really need that extra length for your port
