Exhaust leak = loss of power?

I noticed that my megan headers have a crack across the weld where the four pipes become one. Does anyone know if this causes loss of power?

if my understanding is correct, all cars need some kind of pack pressure at low rpms. if its not there... the car lags. Am i right?

yes, a leak in your headers is a big lose in power. my friends headers were leaking and he was losing a lot of power.

When he got new headers he noticed a big change in power and overall it ran better
