Sleeves are actually a "coaxial" construction. The energy that gets through the leadpipe has to overcome the "capacitance" of the air and then get through the sleeve. The energy is still not available to be radiated out of the bell and therefore does not increase efficiency. Spada in Switzerland uses sleeves on his high-end leadpipes. Excellent response!
