exhaust leak

[StickShift84]

I have an exhaust leak somewhere in my system that is driving me nuts, I am replacing the exhaust but is it ok to drive around like this, the car just doesn't feel the same with this problem?

its ok to drive around with it. i have a small leak as well and its driving me nuts. probably lose a little low end but the biggest pita is the annoying noise it makes.

Yeah, both of my headers were leaking. It made this "thp thp thp" w/ticking sound. Had it fixed today, and now my car seemingly has more "oomph".
