the port is crooked and not even throughout, lets say instead of a 2 inch wide port the port starts off at 2 inches but is like 30 or 45 degrees making the exit 5 or 6?

You're just going to "load" the output. Think about a megaphone, but your box isn't going to get super loud.

nah cause one of my friends started getting into box building thanks to me, so he sucks and I saw his port was crooked (he said it was a mistake), just wondering what the characteristics were. but how does it affect tuning?

It would raise the tuning.

It won't be much louder, in fact, you should just expect it to sound worse because of the unknown Fb caused by the increased port area plus the drop in Vb because he can't use a straightedge for shit.
