I handle claims like these in the US. I'm failing to see how not know what
fuse to pull and reving an enginewould create a hole in the exhaust. I'm
assuming the hole is a hole in the metal tubing of the exhaust, no? Also,
you mention that it's in the rear of the exhaust. Sure, reving the engine
causes air to be forced through the tube but in no way would this generate
enough force to cause a hole to form in good metal.
