, Better than taping it, use a piece of heat shrink around the damaged wire cover and it will be as good as new. If it isn`t big a enough diameter to slide over a plug, cut the shrink longitudinally and wrap it around the affected spot. Then super glue it together and use just a little heat for the folded edge.

Get it all on and get the map flashed start it up and it's all good.. Let it run for 10 mins or so and shut it down.. The placement of the rear pipe on the cobra duals bothers me because it's really close to the frame under the seat.. So do the hell out it I go out there and hour later to see if I can adjust it anymore and I notice the brand new diagnostic plug is melted to the pipe.. Not enough to make it not work but enough to bother me.. Lol he helped me alot.. But damn that's a $24 plug connected to a $500 tuner.. I'm tempted to try to splice it.. Its only 4 wires it I recall correctly.. Can't be mad at him tho I got more than 24 bucks worth of work out of him.. I also found a crows foot to be the best damn way to get to the lower rear flange bolt

I just replace my 4 pin cable with a 6 pin one because the 2015's need the 6 pin. My old 4 pins one is yours if you want to, just pay for shipping cost and I will mail it to you.
