The sensor goes into the pipe work not the cooler :smiley:
I think there is another one for £75 but is abit thicker at 70mm ( may be wrong.

Why is it you wanting the s3 manifold? Performance or looks? As there are no performance gains...
Good luck anyway pal  :smiley:

Because I don't like the look when the pipe swings around the TIP

No worries then pal just didn't If someone had said to you that bam inlets are better as the Internet is known for bigger up bam parts.

But answer I your original question forge do a alloy part for the sensor  :smiley:
