No official tuck done, I have the SxExCx stealth grounding wire kit installed and used the Rare JDM cover to hide all the other wires. I plan on doing an official wire tuck this fall.

^ I call BS. Next thing you know, it's a full tuck and you'll even dip the individual wires in chrome.

I called it.

Anyway, I did mine, and i've never done any electrical stuff at all.

Overall it's about

4/10 difficulty
8/10 time consuming

It's pretty easy. For the two side harnesses, disconnect, reroute, reconnect.

For the main one, just remove the plenum/intake. And pretty much same procedure as the ones on the side. With the addition of having to rip open the plastic shroud and tuck wires individually.

i knew nothing about it as well. but the hardest part is really just removing the plenum, and that's easy.

think of it this way. as long as you're careful, you shouldn't cut any wires, and you shouldn't pull any wires out of the plug. so in essence, there's no way you can mess anything up lol.

the time consuming part is when you disconnect something or when you break up the shroud with all the wires. then the head scratching begins as to where or how to route the wires.

if you feel uncomfortable at that point, simply reconnect everything, and just bring it to someone. All you've done is disconnect and reconnect everything, and possibly made it easier for the guy you bring it to.
