Default Is Racetronix really plug-n-play?

I'm looking at the instructions provided with my Racetronix harness and it talks about removing individual wires from terminals/connectors and replacing them with other wires. I've never heard of this until I actually received the instructions, so I'm wondering if this is a '98 thing only or are they all like this? I'm not faulting Racetronix, but to advertise it as plug-n-play isn't really accurate.

Yeah my 99 was Like that, most of the stuff I've installed on my car was never completely "plug-n-play".

for the most part its plug-n-play, when i installed it on my 2002 WS6 it was plug-n-play but when i installed one on a 99 SS it wasnt completely plug-n-play.

it hooks to the fuel pump.......and the alt......that makes the connectors plug n play.......but then you have to get the whole harness from the fuel pump to the alt.......not so plug n play

The whole idea is to make the kit as easy as possible to use without having to cut, solder & splice wires. This in my opinion is plug-n-play. Swapping a few wires is relatively easy & keeps the kits more economical over providing a more complicated interface harness.

Understood. I wasn't complaining about having to swap the wires, I just figured plug-n-play literally meant plug-n-play. I was just making sure I got the correct kit and all considering I had never heard about anyone having to swap wires and such.
