Abstract
An exhaust system includes an exhaust duct having an internal surface defining an exhaust gas passage extending along an axis. At least one sensor opening is in the exhaust duct and is configured to receive an exhaust gas sensor. A wall is positioned within the exhaust gas passage to extend at least partially around the at least one sensor opening. The wall has an inner wall surface defining an internal volume. An inlet pipe ring is in fluid communication with the internal volume, and the inlet pipe ring extends from a first end open to the internal volume to a second end this is also in fluid communication with the internal volume. The inlet pipe ring includes a plurality of inlet apertures.
