I extended the wires on the top right, you can see all my bright colored wires instead of the black loom from the factory.


That lower right plug you're talking about.. is that the one with the 2 really thick wires? You can extend that too, just be sure you use the proper gauge wire, nothing thinner than what is already there. :thumb:

The only wires you have to be careful extending are shielded wires. The o2 sensor and dizzy parts of the harness are shielded.
