Help quick please

alright... dont want to talk about it now but the left bolt that holds my header snapped (the one that sticks out from the exhaust manifold i think)

well, im supposed to be driving somewhere, i tested the car out and i cant feel anything leaking from the header, but heres the question


what would happen if my header started leaking while i was driving my car?

It would be really loud and you would loose power. It would feel as if your car is twice as heavy with half the HP. It won't hurt nothing, tho. You will get a check engine light but it will reset once you fix the leak. If it snapped you will have to have it drilled out. That means remove the stock manifold and drill the sucker out. I don't know the clearance but it's not a hard job to do. After that you just put another bolt in there.
