Installed JDL Catted Header. Front O2/AFR sensor too short!

So I'm on the tail end of the install, and went to reconnect the harnesses for the 02 sensors. The one after the cat (the black connector, if I'm correct), reaches fine. The front one (grey connecter) doesn't have long enough wiring to reach the connector. Has anyone else run into this on their header install?

Is it possible to extend the sensors wires at all if need be?

This may possibly help:

Just don't bother clipping the harness into its mounting points, it can't exactly go anywhere now that it's pulled tighter. Mine BARELY reached on my uncatted JDL, I left one of the little "christmas tree" clips undone to prevent any stress. No issues in a year and a half and a bunch of abuse

That's what I ended up doing. Theres enough tension on it to keep it in place without pulling too hard on it. Good to hear that it shouldn't cause issues!
