Default Routing Nitrous Feed Line

hey guys quick question, Can you guys give me any suggestions on how to run my nitrous line from the bottle to the engine bay. I prefer to go through the drivers side, but i cant see any openings. The car is a 2001 C5 Coupe.

you should have drain holes in the floor... crawl underneath and look for the rubber grommets that seal the holes...
they made drain holes in most all cars... Just not positve where the location on vette would be..

I second Beer's post. I did the same thing with my line routing on my Z06. I used the passenger side and ran it all under the trim pieces. I then passed through the firewall using the exisiting gromment behind the battery.

I used to run mine down through a drain hole, under the car, then up the firewall inside the engine bay..was a bit of a PITA

This winter I'm changing that out to just running it in the cabin (under the carpet) and through the firewall. This is in an F-car, but it's the same idea as what you could do in yours

On the y-bodies that's where I usually go too. One thing I like to do is make it a tight fit in the rubber so it seals around the hose. I hate feeling any sort of drafts coming from the engine bay.
