   Car is going into mot tomorro will it fail if it is slightly blowing. It doesent sound terrable but im worried it might fail. How much is it to repair a blowing exhaust (small hole).

   depends on how slight a blow, if it passes a gas test then it should pass, dependin on the tester too

   it might weld up if its not too bad like, worse case is a new exhaust or a bandage

   depends what part of the exhaust it is for a new one but if its just a small hole they will probably weld it up for you pretty cheap
