Steering angle sensor???

The sensor in the wheel hun is the ABS sensor.

Inside diameter is tapered from 3" OD down to 1.5" OD. My option was to buy another 2 1/2" ID hose. This is why I recommended 2 1/2" ID hose before you started your project. So you don't make same mistake I made.

ABS is activated when ECM senses disc lock. Steering angle sensor is used to calculate yaw angle wheel position to control rear traction control. Some like my car equipped with 4WAS has rear wheel sensor as well.

One more suggestion.

The reason I bent the pipes instead of running in between power steering pipes, is because if you run the pipes through power steering fluid pipes. The pipes going in and out through the coolant get very hot. Will deform or melt your duct. Power steering fluid get extremely hot especially at the racing track.

Good thing mine don't go in between LOL. Actually it runs below the PS lines so I could always insulate it with Heat tape. I might just do that before I hit the track. Did a autox today but I don't think your going to see a big difference unless you are on a road coarse.
