It seems to me all that can happen is the crack will get worse and eventually burn into a hole with the result of more noise and you breathing exhaust fumes. I don't see how it could do anything bad at all to the engine. Depending on where the exhaust was spewing, I suppose it might melt or burn something. I had one that had two big cracks, and a hole big enough to stick a pencil through, and obviously the previous owner didn't mind running it like that. I took it off and brazed up the cracks after grinding them out and drilling the ends and it was fine. Some people will weld them in place and it seems to work okay
