Question OVC wires install tips?

I just installed my headers and cat-back with the help of my Brother and his friend but am now going to be on my own to install Taylor OVC wires. What all needs to be removed to do this install, alternator? Does anyone have pictures or a step by step guide to installing these wires? I don't want to mess my car up so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Really all you need to do is remove the alternator. When cutting the wires, get ready to cut the length you think you need, then add a few more inches and cut there. Leave some squirming room. Other than that, just take your time, and you shouldn't have a problem. Changing to OVC wires is really easy.

you will probably need to remove the tensioner as well for access to the opti, otherwise you'll never get the wires on it (least in my case I had to) Its only 2 bolts.

Measure twice, cut once.
Nothing to technical about it but time consuming.

Certainly its a lot easier than rerouting the stockers. You can access the opti without removing the tensioner though.
