How much power is lost when you have an exhaust leak? I just installed TBE and i have a decent size leak thats getting fixed. My car seems to loose power after 80mph

Where is the leak?Â* Most exhaust leaks shouldn't cost you much power.Â* Although I am not positive, I would think that the only exhaust leaks that would cost you power would be between the head and the turbo. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Thats what i thought aswell, on a turbo car the further away the leak from the turbo it shouldnt matter and its past my cat. Anyways i got the leak fixed and it still seems to loose some power.
