This isn't as much of a repair question, because I'm having it repaired right now, but the flex pipe on my jetta is cracked, and I was just wondering how much horsepower I might be losing because of it

HI there, you will not really feel any difference it will just be noisy and with an up stream exhaust leak you may end up with an O2 fault code,
