[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 628301, member: 26019"] I do not feel that the angle of the ports or whether it has a radial appearance has much to do with the noise concern. From what I have seen it is an issue of directing the shock wave forward. I had the opportunity to help put in a logging road that was above some homes. The man that set the charges to blast the side of the hill set the charges so that the rocks would be blown away from the homes instead of on them. I am pretty sure that the better brakes take advantage of the same principle. Also keep in mind that Muzzle Brakes are not silencers and that if they fell into the silencer category they would be very highly regulated by law. If they had an actual muffler effect then proper permits and the such would be required on them but directing the shock wave forward is legal. [/QUOTE]
