One thing I have heard that an exhaust leak does is make it so the sound comming from your muffler is quieter... which is why I need to patch up mine right quick! I wanna sound fast while I rev in my driveway... at least till I get the car on the road :P

loss of power, more noise, backfires, and I don't know if it would effect gas mileage at all.
