mines a simple inquiry

its easy to fix i just don't have the resources to go out and fix it real quick (living in an apartment no tools on hand and working 60 hours a week)

my exhause leak is at the front of the cat with no airpump hooked up to the cat.

i was trying to replace the cat with a midpipe and bolt broke off and i didnt have the time to drill it out and fix it. will an exhaust leak in this location have any detrimental effects? or just simply be annoying?

i do intend to fix it as soon as possible, but if it will have negative effects i will have to make time to do it sooner then possible

 

A simple, relatively cheap fix would be have a muffler shop cap/weld off the air pump return opening. The only issue I can see is a muffler shop not granting such work, as it might seem "illegal". Most muffler shops will not perform any type of work that is not smog legal.

 

Will have no effect besides said exhaust leak...
