Exhaust leaking?

[mccurdy]

Will an exhaust leak on my 3inch downpipe flex section reduce performance??? mines leaking and the car is slower now it seems....

Mine leaks also and i was told were it goes from 3" to stock pipes that mine is blowing gaskets and i have a exhaust leak not sure if that might be your problem but I thought I might let you know about that.

the only exhaust leak that would reduce performance would be one before the turbo,not after.

besides choking to death on exhaust fume inside your car, you should gain a little top end with some leaks. Good luck.
