Default Exhaust leak.

the weld on one of the hangers broke on my chevy. Theres a big hole were it was welded at. Will this be any problem if I dont get it repaired right away? I nticed its louder but no performance loss.

Nah, from what I gather you only need to worry about exhaust leaks that are upstream (before) the O2s. That'll allow extra air in that will throw off the readings. Prolly what my goddamn problem is... heh. You should be fine if it's a hangar at the rear of the system.

Is the O2 before or after the cat?
