Default Z06 exh manifold on C6 help needed

I've got the Z06 exhaust manifolds and cats installed on my LS3, but the wires for the O2 sensors are too short.

I thought I'd read somewhere that extensions were not needed. Did I do something wrong?

What is the fix? It's a daily driver, so I need to know quickly.

TIA

You will need o2 extensions. 24" should do it.

You can also open up the harness and pull the O2 wires out back toward the rear of the engine ,drop them behind the manifolds and retape your harness.I had to unplug some of the injector wires for clearance to retape.

Thanks for the information.
Now where can these be found? At a dealership? Or?
Or are these able to be just spliced?

Actually, there's plenty of length if you simply unwind the tape a bit. No need to reroute on my car. It's about 5 minutes of effort, total. Or you could purchase extensions...
