Eurgh, why in the downpipe...
If the reason is for "if it snaps off" - well, in which case that's like saying I'm not going to put the turbo infront of the inlet because if the compressor wheel breaks, it's going to lunch my engine... Or I'm not going to put my sump at the bottom of the engine, because if it gets snapped off, it'll lunch the engine...
You may as well not bother if it's in the downpipe, it gives you literally no clue about the temperatures inside the engine, it's pure guesswork unless you know the PRECISE temperature drop and the time it takes for that temperature drop the equalise.
