    Just buy a 4" 45° elbow and a 4" coupler to replace the corrugated tubing
    I used the excess metal hanging off the worm clamps on the coupler to hold my IAT sensor



    See that little bit of excess in that pic above the YDS logo?
    I just tucked the wire for my IAT sensor in there and it holds the sensor right there next to the tube without moving

    the IAT doesnt need to be in the tube. it needs to be somewhere near the cone so it's reading a similar temperature.
