Nitrous Setup Pics
I'm getting a Nitrous kit after the first of the year and was wanting to see some different pics of where u guys are mounting the bottle. I'm sure the simpliest place is just mounting it in the hatch behind one of the seats but I was just curious to see if anyone was mounting it anywhere else. Thanks!

and another good thing of mounting it under the car in the spare tire well the exhaust /muffler keep the bottle warm ,like a bottle heater ,its kind of a pain to change bottles .but its so cool when no one can find it.you don't think you have much room under their but take a look theirs a lot of room .my little 10 year old nephew was helping put it in and my cars a conv and i thought you cant drop the top with the bottle in the hatch,so he said to me cant you put it under the car so i looked and wat do you know theirs a perfect space where the spare is ,i would of never thought of it because you don't think theirs much room under their so he got $50 for his good idea and i got schooled by a 10 year old

you can put the cover back on ,but you have to make your own bottle brackets ,the ones you get in the kit do make it hang to low.and the tire cover you have to tweak a bit with longer bolts,or you can easily put two 5 lbs bottles .but those little sneakey pete bottles dont last to long cant see 3 of them lasting more then 1 qtr mile pass.but its still looks cool

Hiding Your Bottle Of Laughing Gas - Isn't A Laughing Matter
OK, I've heard several people over the years ask about and other claiming they put their bottle under the car where the spare tire belongs... Consider this: The spare tire is actually designed for rear impact!!!!! It's designed as part of the car. If it is removed, you are removing a vital part of the car that is designed to help in the event of a rear impact.
As far as the guy racing a "rustang" and the other guy claiming he can't find the nitrous... well, any idiot should be able to find the lines either going direct to port, through a throttle body plate or through a nozzle behind the MAF sensor. So, the Rustang driver made 2 mistakes... racing a vette and not knowing what a N20 line looks like.
Bottom line... I sure as hell wouldn't want to put a nitrous bottle under my car and removing the impact safety of the rear, spare tire.
Run whatcha brung! Don't hide it.
Happy News!
