Abstract
An exhaust component assembly includes a component housing defined by an outer dimension and having at least one sensor opening. A sensor boss surrounds the at least one sensor opening and at least one exhaust component is positioned radially outwardly of the component housing and includes an opening that surrounds the at least one sensor opening. A first flange extends about an outer periphery of the sensor boss and a second flange is associated with the opening of the at least one exhaust component to accommodate variations in the outer dimension such that the first and the second flanges can be attached to each other.
