Under the rear inside pass. 1/4 plastics, under the plastic molding that is right by the door sill/is the door sill, under the plastics on the pass. side right in front of the door, drill a little hole through the firewall, or look for existing hole or gromet and cut bigger, and in to the engine bay. You can also run your bottle heater wires, or whatever other wires while you're running the feed line.

Not sure if yours is the same, but i was able to find a grommet, way up in the top corner on the passenger side. It came out behind the box of wiring right there on the firewall.

I'm not sure either, my friends was a 99 and my brothers an 00, that's why I said to drill a hole if it doesn't already exist.

HOWEVER, if it DOES exist, you will probably have to carefully cut the gromet bigger.

That's the grommet where the PCM wiring goes thru. You can do it that way, but if you ever need to pass tech at the track, I don't think that is an approved way of doing it. I ran mine thu a hole I drilled in the spare tire area, facing the gas tank. I used a bulkhead fitting to go thru, then went between the heat shielding and gas tank, over the axle, and followed the brake/fuel lines to the engine compartment.

That's just one more way of doing it.

I have no idea how Tech at a track would be able to see that grommet. Mines buried so you cant see the grommet from under the hood, and with alot of the panels removed i still couldnt see it from inside the car. Also my kits completely hidden.

I think it would matter more as you push higher speeds. Like above 11.499 where they would actually be checking. But upon seeing your tank and blowdown tube, they might ask where the hose is routed.

Anyway, your choice, I was just showing another option
