Intake Problem

Well I've had my AEM short ram intake on my car for almost a year now with no problems yet. The thing that kinda worries me is the the O2 sensor plugged in the intake has been really stretched and is tugging on the wires pretty hard (this was like this when I first installed it). Now I haven't had any problems for like a year, but I am wondering if this could lead to any.
Does anyone know??

there will more than likely be no problems, but there is a zip tie that connects cord to another. Follow the cord down to this zip tie. Just cut it off and you will get some slack in the cord.

it should give you enough slack, you might have another one, follow it down even more.

when I installed my V2 it was like that, all I did to fix it was cut the tape holding the wires together a inch or so

The thing that kinda worries me is the the O2 sensor plugged in the intake
I could be wrong but i think thats air intake temp sensor not an O2 sensor. Now onto the subject, mine is streched pretty tight on my injen CAI but not enough to do damage to wiring
