That sounds too easy. I would think you would need an electronic part in that loop for accurate readings to the CPU.
You'd think you would, but you don't. Most aftermarket TP's and even headers too have figured out the best length/angles to keep the sensors away from the gasses enough not to throw codes. The steel wool is just a bit to help. If you decide to go that route, I used medium coarseness steel wool.
