Did you read the piece I linked to earlier?
It creates a step/pressure-change which disturbs the standing-wave so you
don't get an effect that some feel is counterproductive.  ...bill

   Some  of  the manifolds I've seen are very thick at the bend, and that
   chamfer  leaves  a hole that is much smaller than it should be, but it
   is  the  best  transition  you  can obtain without much more work. The
   chamfer  is  just  the easiest thing they could do in one operation to
   clean  up  the  opening.  A straight bore on the same axis as the carb
   would leave a horrible step and obstruction to flow.
