Default Nitrous line

Is 16 feet of main line enough to go from the spare tire area to the engine bay?

As long as you don't make zig zags across the car yes it should make it.

I dont have any pics or a write up on it...


Normally we run them down the passenger side of the car under the carpet. You will need to take the door molding and the moldin that houses the back and mid speakers inorder to run the line. Under the passenger side of the dash is a grommet that you can cut then feed the main line through there to the engine bay.

Just be careful if the power wire for the amp is in there...you don't want the feed line acting like a piece of sand paper and rubbing the insulation off the power wire. That's a major potential fire maker. If its not safe inside, run it on the outside along the subframe connectors (if you got them) or the brake lines, making sure its not in any contact with rubber lines and zip tied securely to avoid any movement.

I have some of that Black wire wrap that came with my system that I could wrap the amp wire with. Would this be good enough?
