I cracked my muffler... I wanted a new muffler anyway.... What is a good one to buy... I want it to sound more aggressive and a little louder... Let me now soon if you could because I will go buy it soon... Not really sure where I would buy it

go to a muffler shop and ask if they'll let you hear some samples. I know here they'll hold up different muffler so you can get an idea.

Since it's a nice warm day and I had a little time I took a look the air conditioner. It was low on freon, compressor cycling too rapidly to cool. I charged it back up and now it's working fine.
I poked around with my electronic leak detector and unfortunately it found nothing under the hood. ("Unfortunately" because anything under the hood would be easier to fix than you-know-what!) Hoses, fittings, condenser, even the compressor seal are tight.
On high sensitivity the detector did pick up a whiff around the vents and under the dash, so it seems likely that an evaporator replacement is in this XJ's future.
I'll double and triple check before committing to that and if I do have to go in there would also replace the heater core at the same time. That's not a job I'd want to do twice!
