Which "air pipe" are you talking about? If it's something before the throttle body, no, it wouldn't. If it's part of the EGR valve, a large vacuum line or other significant emissions device, yes, it certainly could.

To many people the EGR valve assembly on some vehicles can look like "an air pipe". If that's cracked you're allowing some of the cylinders to run very "lean" and that can cause burned valves or pistons.

Yes, a cracked flex pipe can cause a loss of horsepower.
