If you can, try sticking these on the muffler. Mufflers aren't as hot as the rest of the exhaust system components and don't conduct as much heat so I would think they'd land the TEC in about the right operating temp. Much better source of heat than the sun. Extruded aluminum heatsinks are super cheap, just chop them up and stick them on the TECs.
