A hole In exhaust or not a hole in the exhaust, that is the question.

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to read this thread. I have a 1.4 Fiesta Zetec 52 reg. Basically my MOT is due tomorrow and after giving my exhaust system a quick once over I've found, what can only be described as, a hole in my exhaust back box. On further inspection the hole that I found actually looks like it's supposed to be there. It's only about 5mm across and is slightly finned out from the exhaust. It is just below where the pipe carries on out of the back box towards the front of the car.

I would really appreciate it if anyone with any knowledge of this could give me their views on whether this is normal or not.

Once again thanks very much.
