    It's called a stinger, you need 1 that's compatible with whatever brand your gauge is. They come straight or in a 90 degree depending on how it's mounted in your exhaust

    I always bought them as kits that includes the gauge and thermocouple. Isspro, Autometer, etc. Thing is, IDK if you can mix and match because if the ohms aren't right, the gauge won't be accurate.

    If I were in your shoes, I'd get one from the factory that matches the gauge, unless you can verify it doesn't matter.

    Get one from the dealer. I trashed mine a while back changing out the exhaust and had to get one from KW.
