Fire Surpression systems, mounting nozzles Where are you guys mounting your nozzles? I've got a 10# system that we need to install. The bottle is mounted just need to run the lines and nozzles. Tenatively we're thinking one between the driver legs, and one on either side of the engine. Pics would be great.
This is how I did mine Phil, its pretty f-body specific though, the nozzles in the cowl are a lot more far forward then they appear. I think it will work fine, but I'm not going to set the car on fire on purpose to test it

Mine is not a F-body. Basic info only. I have 2 bottles. I recommend (might be overkill) 1 on each header, back of intake,
front of intake, fuel cell. 2nd bottle, between legs and control area. (MSD box, relays, solenoids ect.)
Getting close Phil?? Good luck.

i've got my bottles with just 2 nozzels in the engine bay... my thought is that the fire will start in the engine bay and if you put it our it wont get inside the car.... i also dont want halon inside the car with me as it can sufficate you...

Since I am probably one of the few here that have been on fire. My thinking is I don't care where it starts.
I can hold my breath a long *** time if fire get's in there. 2 bottles, 2 triggers, only use **** pit system if I have to.
I have one car each, front cell & rear cell. If you crash & the rear cell breaks or splashes all over the battery,
then what. My 2 cents, nozzles & T-fittings are cheap. Good luck.

I would rather hold my breath then have my foot get burned off trying to stop the car. All it takes is one little hole in the firewall and that ozite carpet isnt exactly what I call fireproof. Not to mention a simple interior electrical fire can ruin your day real quick.
I can care less about the car, all I want is my *** out of there and trying to slow down a burning car is no fun. As far as halon its still being sold, most cars dont require a fire system so you can put whatever you want in there unless its specified to be SFI. Halon is still the most effective for putting out fires, problem is its right up there with r12 for ozone depletion.
