Oh gotcha! I thought "I've never heard of a pipe's lip" but then I realized there i the p-lip from Petereson...

Personally, I’ve never found an orific bit constricted, but the idea behind the slot was to spread the smoke as one sips.
The conversion would consist of cutting a slot by removing button material on either side of the round opening. If done properly the airway funnels out to the lip.
