Default Nitrous line kink?

I just put my car up on jack stands to do some rear suspension work and noticed a small kink in my nitrous line coming right out of the rear frame. I haven't noticed any performance issues. Is this something I need to be worried about?

I would think that if you leave it that way, more than likely you will eventually have a failure because of stress to the hose. Best advice would be to check and make sure the hose is not showing signs of crack and to also maneuver it into a better position.

Depends on how bad the kink is. If it looks stressed or really kinked to were it blocks flow replace it. If it just has a little ripple its probley fine.
