The Dutch method of exhaust leak repair

Say you've found yourself with an Eagle that had far too attractive a cat converter for someone else to pass up.  Though you're now minus a cat, they were nice enough to replace it with a straight pipe, but weren't bright enough to effectively seal the switched runner tube connected to the manifold.  You'd find yourself with quite the exhaust leak, despite the thief's best attempt being made to clamp the tube shut with a parts store clearance rack set of $1.50 vise grips.  Here's what to do when that day inevitably comes.

1) Go to the grocery store to get dinner.

2) Before going inside, mix up a generous helping of JB Kwik.

3) Find an extra finger.

4) Break it off, turn it inside-out, slip it over a meat finger, and slather your exothermically-reacting goo all over it.

5) Get distracted by how impressively warm it is.

6) Remember you have a very short set time, and that the heat of the exhaust tube isn't going to help.

7) Scramble to get your sticky finger jabbed up at the end of the tube, while having no regard for personal safety or cleanliness (as per usual).

8) Roll the extra finger off the meat finger and onto the tube, making sure to mash as much already-set epoxy into the tube as possible.

Note: my extra finger rolled off before I could get a picture.

9) Go into the store and get dinner.

10) Return to your Eagle and be amazed that the exhaust leak is gone, though expect to be doing more of this kind of thing.  Kwik Weld is only supposed to be able to withstand temps of 230°.
