an exhaust leak is bad anywhere because it disrupts the flow characteristics of the pipe. It causes turbulence in the gasses among other things, which can affect performance. The disruption of flow and the gasses prematurely escaping the pipe account for the "pffft" noise associated with an exhaust leak, (and why it doesnt go "pfffft" when it exits the tip normally) but also account for why you can space it differently to create different "tones" - like tuning a wind instrument. but people don't poke holes in their musical instruments to make them sound better. (i am aware that its not a direct relationship to a car but you must see what I am getting at)
but have you really ever heard a car go by with a leak and say "that sounds nice!" You have simply made the car louder via a leak - something people spend time and money to patch because eventually it becomes undesirable. If you're happy with, fine - I'm thousands of miles away and it won't bother me when it drives down the street. but you can't call it new, and you cant possibly be surprised when people who love their cars and respect the thousands of man-hours of design and engineering that go into everything - including the exhaust note - do not like or appreciate your "mod".

Thanks, agree with your explanation.
I could care less if they "like or appreciate" the mod, its not like in in their living room reving the motor. Simply put someone could have just said what you did, with the same manner and that would have been enough for me, but I suppose trolls must feed somehow..
taking back to stawk when I get home... and install wheel spacers.
