So I broke the clip in my door handle taking the panel off a month or two ago, finally got fed up with rolling my window down to get out so i popped the whole interior handle out so you can see the door lock and handle mechanism wrapped a zip tie around the the piece that opens the door and another zip tie around that zip tie with a circle just big enough for my finger to fit in and now I can get out redneck but it works... for now haha

Sounds awesome, and i can still hear my music with the windows up. Gonna put a chrome tip on tomorrow and go show off to my buddies. Got too dark so i didn't want to risk getting the cops called on me again.

muffler putty is about your best bet

It's only leaking at the end when it's clamped, so i'd say yes lol. And it's amde for exhaust systems so it should

That's my plan, use this until i can afford to have someone bend a pipe for me (Which = why i didn't want to weld it). The flex pipe in THAT spot is actually annoying, it won't hold the tailpipe up properly. Once i get a proper pipe i'll have the whole thing welded but a friend.

If you do, there's a vendor here who sells them at the lowest price I've ever seen.

Installed IAC, TPS, and MAP sensor. Will adjust TPS tomorrow with my voltmeter. Everything on my XJ is old and out of spec. Things snap, crackle, and pop when I touch them. But I have to touch them so that I can test and adjust. I think the only connectors in the engine compartment that work and aren't broken are the injectors and both 'new' sides of the vacuum lines I installed.
