Psu cable modding

Hi guys! I have a Fsp 700w power supply, which is not modular. I don't plan to buy a new one anytime soon, but it has those ugly 8+6 pcie cables (see first picture), so I want to mod it a little. Is it possible to remove the "extra" 6pin cable, and then sleeve the 8pin individually? (I want it to look like the one in the second picture) Do I have to solder it, or can I do it with a simple pin removal tool?

You may be better off with sleeved extensions but if you want to attempt this you will need to take off the connector and cut the extra wires leading to the daisy chained connector to sleeve it.
