[QUOTE="PV Audio, post: 3012360, member: 554493"] It isn't the same because in a labryinth port, the direction of the port is the direction of the airflow. It can be restrictive, as I already said, but the airflow is continuous in one direction. Since air is a fluid, let me show you what I mean by talking about fluids. In a labryinth port, if you shoot water down the port, it will flow through the port and will eventually come out the other end in relatively the same stream. In this design, let us assume that the flow is high enough for it to fill the port, but when you flow the water through it, it will collect at that wall area until enough water has collected to force it through the opening. Is a labyrinth port inefficient? Yes, but not on the same level as this, because the air in this design literally meets an obstruction in it's flow, and isn't redirected until air is compressed enough to exit. [/QUOTE]
