I've got a little exhaust leak where the Y pipes meet the muffler.. Its not at the front of the Y pipes, not the donuts.. This is between the muffler and Y pipes.. Is it something I need to rush out to the garage and fix right now or can I wait until I get around to it??? I put 500 miles on it this week like that and no backfiring or anything, just a little loud when its cold, once warm, you don't notice it...
 
I dont think the sled will care, you may do more damage to one of the exhaust pieces but who cares I guess.

It may start backfiring and if it does you will have to be careful you get a fire going.

Its sounds pretty tame so not sure I would mess with it or not.

No, you will be fine, will not cause any problems to your engine.. just fix it when you have time in the next few of weeks as Im sure it will continue to get worse..
