It wont help, you still have a blocked exhaust.....the hissing, is it from under the car?

If so its the exhaust gases forcing them selves through the pipe joins....

If it is EGR related it will be the corrugated metal pipe to the EGR valve...if the gasket fails there is very litte gas that can escape (the leak will be to small)

No...the fact the engine is pumping exhaust gases against a blockage will cause you to loose power....
