^^ as he said.

maybe even fuel emissions warning light dependant on where the exhaust is blowing though thats usually at the front od the exhaust near the cat. etc, was on mine anyway.

When mine was on the rolling road at Hill Power there was some condensation coming out from the seal of the back box...it was very slight but would that make much difference?

would it affect the revs at all?

Definately affects driveabilty and petrol consumption.

I had this hole in my exhaust the other day, the reason the holes are so big is because that is where the back bracket before the backbox attachs to the exhaust. The bracket has rotted the metal, and after pulling the bracket out thats the hole it left. Amazingly i even got 46MPG with it blowing over a 120 mile journey as i drove like a granny the whole time

I did however note a chronic lack of power, possibly caused by incorrect back pressure.
