Nitrous Bottle location?
Has anyone on here put their bottles under the passenger seat? I was considering buying another seat and taking all the electronics out from underneath and somehow putting the bottles in the bottom and have it lift up. Anyone done this?

Even if you did remove the electronice, there just isnt enough room for any decent nitrous bottles down there. Sneaky pete bottles might fit, but are hardly worth it on a V8. A few of them together might get you one shot, if even. I've been going nuts trying to figure out a way to hide mine even more than it already is. I have it mounted sideways across the back of the cargo area, covered to look like a subwoofer. I just dont like all the room it takes up back ther.

You're probably right but im in no hurry so im gunna try to figure something out where it will work. It might mess up the seat from the underside but thats why i want to get another one instead of tearing up the original seat. any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Is it bossible to have custom bottles made? in specific sizes?

Myhardtop puts his behind the seat with a black jacket over it when he's being sneaky. This is just an idea but what about this. Building a case, and covering it in the stock carpet and basically extending the back cargo area. Not sure how tall you guys are but im pretty short so my seat isnt all the way back, and the passanger, well who cares how much leg room they have. Just a suggestion.

Most likely you're not going to have room, and you need to make sure the bottle is pointed valve to the front of the car, bottom of the bottle to the rear, at the proper angle for nitrous pickup using the siphon tube inside. If you find yourself not being able to reach your bottle or forgetting to open it, you can always go with a remote bottle opener
