Default o2 sensor in headers

Just installed the dc 4-1 header on my DA. As most might know, DC doesnt make a header for DA integras. So with a little modification to the front radiator support they fit but the o2 sensor is further than the stock design. therefor the wires arent long enough to reach. How do i extend the wires? Can i just match the wire with the correct gauge and extend it????

Thats all you have to do, possibly find some extra conectors and make make an extension harness for yourself so you dont have to chop anything up.

Just make sure if you do cut and extend, that you solder and heatshrink the connections. Since O2 sensors are sensitive to voltage, they can get funky and throw a CEL if you don't do a good wiring job.
