A rubber coupling thing from Lowe's. It's a popular and cheap alternative to the SLP bellow...which I would have had to cut up also...but spend $60 compared to $8.

I got one from intakehoses... just google it and you will find it. It cost like $20 and looks a little better than the Fernco. I had the Fernco for a while until I found that website. Looks good though. I can't wait until I get some extra funds for nitrous kit.

why is there no line on the other side of the plate? if it is their dry plate- which is the same as their wet plate you should have it hooked up on both sides for even distribution.

so a 035 jet on both sides is a 75 shot total.

It is a dry kit... and I plan on capping the other side. If the car did fine on one nozzle before, then it should do fine on one port this time with several holes spraying on the plate.

I think it would be silly and redundant to T it off to both ports....no need to do it on a wet kit, so why do it on this.

Each side of the plate controls a ring in the center of the plate. There are two rings inside the plate so distribution is always even!

Yes..... but all I'm trying to say is....if one nitrous port is good enough in a wet setup..why isn't it good enough for dry???

That was my thinking too. I didn't know that HSW has you tee off the the nitrous from the solenoid to the plate. They may do it for even better distribution? I'm sure HSW will chime in.

It looks better, but you need to get rid of that tape.

Its just an option with the dry plate. You can setup the dry plate either way and it will be perfectly fine. The plate has 10 nitrous discharge points, which honestly is plenty. If you T off the noid and go into both sides you will have a total of 20 discharge points. Its nice, but depending on how much you are spraying its probably overkill and the 10 discharges will be more then enough.

Yeah...that tape is kind of important right now.... Before I had the Interface, I swiss-cheesed my lid trying to find a good spot for the nozzle. Every location went lean. Interface = awesome

New pic.

I got a big boy HSW solenoid and SJM ABS delete kit...

Hah, it seems my lid gets worse every day. When swapping injectors, I spilled a little bit of gas on the SLP lettering. It came off quick..
