Hey Guys,

I'm just curious how big an effect an exhaust leak would have on dyno numbers. It's not a huge leak, but it's big enough to hear inside the car and is right where the exhaust meets the collector. Probably not a huge deal, but like I said, I'm just curious.

Thanks,
Josh

Probably won"t make any difference, mostly just annoying to listen to!! :(

Yeah, as long as you're not leaking between the header and head, I wouldn't imagine a signifigant power loss.

It would only make a difference if it messed up your ltrims and made you run rich, but that would show up on the a/f graph.
