   will a hole in the exhaust effect the bhp on the dyno?

   Power is actually the amount of torque a engine produces per second so is normally what people talk about when tuning. Max torque figures as given on a dyno graph are mostly irrelevant as it lacks context. But if your just after big torque numbers from a Saxo have a look on some of the boost threads as forced induction is a shore fire way to get big leaps in max torque

   A hole in the exhaust will affect the Bhp of your car because there will be less back pressure

   ah right, ive been underneath and replaced the joints with new clamps, and new gasket for the down pipe, exhaust is pretty new and i still hear a blowing noise especially when driving past parked cars is sounds tiny. im in for my map and power run end of this month. whats the best way of checking the mani for blows without being burnt? checking when 1st started up? hope im making sense

   I find the best way is to get a couple of mates, get one to block the end of the exhaust so little or no air can get through, then get another one to give your car a bit of revs, and then go down the exhaust and manifold and try to feel any leaks on it. Hope this makes sense to you
