It will have a negligible effect on anything except your health. Carbon monoxide will enter the passenger compartment and could possibly cause you to either have an accident or do serious physical harm. Driving a car with a hole in the exhaust is dumb. Carbon monoxide is orderless and tasteless and you will never know it is present. Get this fixed ASAP and only drive with all windows open. The above is not entirely true. A hole in your exhaust WILL affect your car's performance. 1) The loss of 'Back Pressure' in the system will affect the effective 'Scavenging' of the exhaust fumes, because motor manufacturers spend millions of pounds/dollars 'tuning' exhaust systems to make them efficient. 2) In those cars fitted with Fuel Injection, a hole could interfere with the readings of the system's Oxygen (Lambda) sensor, thus resulting in poor fuelling, poor power etc. 3) Air entering the hole and mixing with unburned fuel in the system could cause a 'Backfire', damaging the exhaust even more. 4) It can cause damage to your cataluytic converter (if fitted)...these are EXPENSIVE to replace. Extra Extra Again the above is still not strictly true 1) Back pressure is what racers andmodders want to minimise, manufacturers do spend a lot of money but often have to compromise, this leading to not so effective systems. 2) Only if the hole is before the sensor will it affect the readings 3) Very littel air could enter a hole, again depending on where it is, if your car is backfiring, theproblem could be elsewhere, unlikely to be hte ingress of air through a hole in the exhaust 4) Again it could only damage the cat if it before the cat in the system, after the cat will not affect it at all.

How can we calculate electrical energy consumption in DG set?
if power consumption is 130 KW. how can it convert into unit per hour.
What is the position of the intake and exhaust valves during most of the power stage in a four cycle gas engine?
They are closed during the power stage.
Where is the ABS power relay output circuit?
That depends on vehicle. You haven't told us what it is.
What is the power output of a Rotax 299cc vintage go kart engine?
12-15 horsepower
What is wrong if your 90 Mercury 5.0 started up fine and you turned the idle up but when you whet to drive it had no power and lots of popping from the exhaust when you put it in neutral?
The popping from the exhaust and the lack of power sounds like there is something in the timing. Most likely the timing chain is worn and needs replacing.
What is 800mW?
800 milliwatts, or 0.8 watt. It's a measurement of output power or power consumption.
What is the output on this exhaust fan?
This fan is rated at 277 CFM using 120V of power.
What does peek watt means?
Watts refers to the power used or the power output of a device. There are two common usages in audio and video applications, audio power output and power used by equipment. Audio power output: Measured in watts but there are several different methods to describe it. RMS power is regarded as the most reliable measure of the output capability of am amplifier. However, peak power output is exactly double the RMS value. To make it more complex, peak music power output is also quoted. It's a value that is an estimation of power based on less than scientific calculations. Normally, it is double the peak power rating. Power consumption Power consumption varies. The average consumption is often far less than the peak consumption, as equipment turns on, or a motor starts up for example. The power rating on equipment is often shown for peak power.
Oxygen consumption is related to exercise intensity in a generally fashion?
oxygen consumption is nearly linear with power output or running velocity
What is power output?
Power output is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It is typically measured in watts and is a key element in determining the performance of various devices and systems, such as engines, electric motors, and solar panels. High power output usually indicates greater efficiency or capability.
How does changing voltage across a lamp affect the power consumption of the lamp?
because it does!
Why does the fuel consumption increase with increasing power but the air consumption that has been measured remains almost the same?
Fuel consumption increases with increasing power because more fuel is required to generate the additional power. Even though air consumption remains almost the same, the engine needs more fuel to mix with the air in order to produce the higher power output. This results in increased fuel consumption without a significant change in air consumption.
Pros and cons of hydro power?
Hydroelectric power plants don't exhaust pollutants into the air, and they output power at a relatively reliable rate (compared to solar or wind, especially). On the other hand, they drastically affect all ecosystems upstream of the dam, and are much more environmentally destructive than nuclear power plants.
What do you measure in light bulbs?
Light bulbs are measured in two ways: Lumens for their light output and Watts for their power consumption.
What does 800w mean?
800w typically refers to 800 watts, a unit of power measurement. In the context of electronics or appliances, it indicates the amount of power consumption or output of the device.
How does friction affect output force?
Simply put, friction reduces output force. The more friction there is, the less effectively power will be delivered, and this results in reduced output force.
Why is there 16 spark plugs on a dodge charger?
each cylinder for the V-8s have two plugs, for better power output and cleaner exhaust.
