ya I was wrong its a test pipe not a high flow cat.
no main reason for the tire sizes. the 245/40/18 will fit in the front but i wanted to go with a little smaller tire in the front.
tein s tech lowering springs and kyb gr-2 struts. New strut bearings, bump stops and dust boots.
today I added a red top optima battery and digital battery terminals
I also changed alot of the factory wiring to 0 gauge wire

i had the falkens before and they were good when they were new.

Nothing like blowing $$ every 6000 miles on new tires! You get horrible tire wear when you don't rotate. I used to never rotate tires thinking it made no difference. I went about 15-20k on a set without rotating. When I started rotating, the same tire (new) went for another 10k miles.

I didnt do the alt to battery. because i would need 8 feet of wire at $3.18 a foot and I did know how i was going to connect the wire thru the relay box.
so i just did negative on the battery to the frame then to the motor
and on the positive battery terminal i went to the start and the wire that comes from the alt to the relay box to the battery i left that stock.

STEP II - BATTERY POSITIVE TO ALTERNATOR POST
Alright, this one is a bit more tricky. You are going to need about 5ft of wire split into two equal 2.5ft. lengths. We are going to be attaching the wire to the battery positive to a fuse terminal, then fuse terminal to alternator post.
You can find the alternator just to the outside end of the engine block on the passenger side. Look for a rubber boot covering a bolt. That's your alternator post. We'll start there. Remove the bolt using a 12mm socket.
Attach one crimped end of the 1/0AWG wire to the bolt, then screw everything back together.
Take the lead attached to the alt. post and run this to the fuse. Take the other length of wire and run this from the opposite end of the fuse and lead it to the battery. We're almost done!
so let me see if i understand this you go from the alt to a fuse block to the battery?
what about the piece of wire that goes from the battery to the relay box and then to the alt?

cool, see I thought it has to go from the alt into the relay box into a fuse block and then to the battery. I didnt know you can run the alt drirect to the battery and the battery direct to the relay box. With this new info i'm going to go ahead and do alt. to bat. with the fuse block
