exhaust blowing

[Jacko]

my exhaust is blowing a little and im going to get it replaced. sometimne the car doesnt seem as 'peaky' at 5k could the blowing and drop in the amount of back pressure cause this slight drop ??

I doubt it, TBH. Sometimes my car feels not that special and then suddenly it feels quick again. All depends on how hard you push it and getting it right e.g. gear change etc.

If it's blowing at a joint in the exhaust then get some Loctite flange sealant from Halfords or wherever. Undue the joint, clean it up with a wire brush, slap it on and tighten it up again (leave it to cure for a while after) = sorted!!!
