Default Will this 45 degree fitting hurt flow?

I am in the process of hooking my nitrous feed line and blow down tube. I am using HSW filter kit which is -6 line to the filter then I am running -4 to the solenoid. I am wanting to run the feed line and the blow down line under the rear driver side back seat.

Doing so puts a bend in the feed line which makes it kinda difficult to put the line on. I don't want to worry about cross threading it so I thought about putting a 45 degree fitting off the bottle to help aim the line back.

What do you guys think? I will be spraying 125 shot at the most.

Should be okay to put a fitting in there. Or you could poss look at putting a spacer in the front side of you bottle brackets to raise it up some, and then you won't affect the flow.

The 45* fittings will not hurt the flow at all.
