The suggested port length for a box that I am making is 25" long. It will be a square port (2.65" x 2.65") and I am planning on having a 90 degree bend around a corner. Will this affect anything such as what the box is tuned to? Thanks for the advice.

just remember, to measure the length of a port you measure directly down the center, and youll be good to go

Why go to the trouble of building a square vent of the same area as 3" pipe??

Go get a 4' piece of 3" pipe and an elbow..

simple solution for that as well
batterys in the back and do what the old dragster boys did drive the alternator off the drive shaft
just put it on jack stands for db dragging
the fans will love it
a little propane or extra fuel out the tail pipe and do a flame job too
maybe some smoke
they won't see your numbers until the smoke clears
