No, if anything it will give you better flow, the cheap way :)

not unless the hole is large enough for all the gasses to escape. Which I highly doubt. The problem is some is coming out and the rest is still traveling the distance of the exhaust tubing. This would cause turbulance and the gasses will not be able to escape at the highest velocity. Which means too much back pressure.
