Exhaust manifold flange warping

Just wanted to know if driving around with an exhaust leak out of the manifold to the engine is gonna cause warping to the flange. Cause that would suck ***.

Edit* its the HKS Cast manifold if that matters

thanks guys

i run hks cast, with no problems.

Fix your leak if you have one, that will cause your boost response to be slow among other things. As far as warping goes, the hks cast is a pretty beefy unit and i would be suprised if one did warp.

An exhaust leak should not cause the manifold flange to warp.

XSTransAm had a good point about boost response though.
