Hey I have a little problem, my muffler has a hole and yes I know how to fix it. The wield has come apart from the cat. and the rest of the muffler. My question is what are the PROS. and CONS. of this? I has noticed I get better MPG 24 instead of 23. And its louder, and I can smell exhaust (not very noticeable unless in traffic) Will I gain more power? I have a 850R and its been chipped.

    The pro is that you will get better mpg and a little more bhp. The con is that you need to wear ear plugs and a gas mask.
    Either fix it or replace the exhaust with one with better flow, about $750 from IPD?
