[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 107266, member: 2806"] I have several sacrifice-able Gold Star mufflers, but only one of them is "twitter-like," and it's aftermarket so I couldn't count on its behavior being identical to the real thing. However, given how far up the muffler my clamp-on sniffer fits, I know air is sucked at least that far so it's hard to imagine a bolt in the air stream would be enough to have much of an effect. Actually, given that the external clamp-on probe is a lot larger obstruction than that of a single thumbscrew we already have the answer -- a bolt wouldn't eliminate the effect. Yes, the only downside to a heat sink is it will suck away more of the heat from the exhaust forcing your electrical system to make up the difference needed to maintain the operating temperature. Since your Alton gives you Watts to burn this wouldn't matter. Maybe I mentioned this in an earlier post(?), but after an initial ~30 sec. warm-up when the unit is turned on my free-standing 4.2 sensor draws just 1 Amp. This means when bathed by hot exhaust it draws even less (although, I haven't measured that value). [ATTACH type="full" alt="27041"]27041[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
