i own a repair shop,and yes it will,,just about any leak will cause a vehicle to fail,,what it does is suck in cold air,and it throws the readings off on the machine they use to check it with,,but you,ll probably have to get that repaired before you can get it to pass,i have seen some pass it with leaks in them,but the majority of the cars do fail it,,good luck,i hope this help,s.

Fresh air leaking into the converter may make the mixture of air and fuel too lean (too much air, not enough fuel), which increases nitrogen oxide emissions and causes a failed test. A converter has an ideal ratio of air to fuel with which it operates at maximum efficiency. The engine uses oxygen sensors to help maintain this ratio.

Any half decent muffler shop that does custom welding can fit a universal converter in there for a decent price. If it's just a hole in the pipe itself, well that can be fixed with a little bit of welding too. I wouldn't recommend a big national shop--get a referral for a local place.
