Default Xpost: Question re: exhaust leak. How detrimental to the car/turbos if you drive with a leak?

Just got the car back w/new 1st/2nd gears/syncros (gearbox feels 'brand new' and so smooth, I will not install ss!) and know I have an exhaust leak b/c of noticeable 'sputter' towards mid-front of the undercarriage.

I drove with the intercooler pipes loose for, don't know how long and now a day with an exhaust leak. Which is worse, if difference? Thanks!

Exhaust leak is less serious than an intake leak.
