Default What will my car feel like with an exhaust leak?

If its leaking, what problems can I expect..I think its leaking now after the change, just want to see if what you guys say is what its doing.

I would think you would hear it more than you would feel it unless it is a huge hole/gap!

A similar experience would be, what I sound like after a Beer and Burrito lunch...

What did you "change?" Depending on size and location, often sounds like a ticking.

All the best.

Unless you have a TURBO, an exhaust leak will be audiabe more than felt by the seat of the pants meter!
