Will a hole in your car's exhaust pipe cause your car to be slower?

Depends on where the hole is. Before an oxygen sensor, it may be causing your vehicle to over/under fuel itself, and in that case possibly. Close to the manifold, it may allow much cooler air to the exhaust valves and warp a valve and then the answer would be yes. Further down, say at or beyond the catalytic converter, typically the answer would be no.

Can you drill a hole in exhaust pipes?
You can drill a hole in anything as long as you have a strong enough drill bit and drill. But why would you want to drill holes in your exhaust?

Should you patch or just replace exhaust components if there's a small hole right before the muffler?
If the hole is smaller than a nickel, I would not worry about it. If the hole is on the bottom side of the exhaust pipe, it might actually be a good thing, as it would allow the water in the exhaust to drain out before it enters the muffler. Some newer cars have drain holes in the exhuast system to prevent things from rusting out quickly.

Will a hole in the header cause smoke exhaust?
If you have an O2 sensor, your O2 sensor will not read exhaust gases properly which may cause the ECU to make the engine run rich. Yes. Holes close to the engine in the headers may also cause unburned fuel to ignite in the headers causing backfiring.
