Severe exhaust leak side effects? I've got a set of JetHots that are leaking from the primaries and flange (not the flange and heads) on the driver side. Dumb question perhaps but could I expect any side effects from driving a short distance...I don't want to miss a car show I've preparing a month for so I'll only be driving it on and off the trailer and to my parking spot.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Severe exhaust leak side effects? I have been driving with a very noticable leak on my Hooker collectors because the previous owner hacked on it some. Ive driven about 3K miles with it like this so I seriously doubt any damage could be done by backing it off the trailor and parking it.
I wouldn't worry about it much...

Re: Severe exhaust leak side effects? Thanks! That what I kind of thought too....I just needed to hear from someone else. Little over protective I guess, but hey I guess she'll just sound like hell for a minute or two. Of course I'm showing the 'bling' not the 'bang' <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> .
