Get the burkhart tubular front bumper support and stick your bottle in the front bumper. Just don't get in an accident!

There should also be enough room to put a 5 lb bottle in your back bumper.

Then also talk to Nitrous Outlet about their money maker nitrous system.

Here you go. All the different bottles. Just put the part numbers in Jegs or Summit.

if you take out part of your glove box,you can put a 5lb bottle there. or if you can find someone with an extra rear seat, gut the bottom of it and put it in there. Cut the foam to and mold the bottle. There are a ton of options. just gotta be creative.

I was thinking about under the console in between the seats. Probably would involve some cutting, but could maybe fit a 10lb bottle there?

What about the rear sail panels where the monsoon speakers are i nthe back? I bet you could get some bottles in there one on each side then run the connections under the carpet behind the seats.

The console could probably hold a 5lb bottle if you gut it underneath.

The sail panels don't have much room between them and the outer wall. The sneaky pete bottle might fit in there but thats only a 10 ounce bottle.

My friend just runs his in the spare area. Since his noids and all of the lines are very obvious when he pops the hood, he runs a dummy line to a set of empty bottle holders mounted in between the rear seats. We just say that there is no bottle so we arent spraying. Works every time. Made lots of money doing that

the bottle is the easy part. the hardware and electronics is where i get people. post #14 works a lot, but that can be mitigated by telling them to undo the line at the solenoid underhood. the sneakiest of the sneaky is one hidden kit, one obvious kit, both operable. use as a 2 stage system, obvious one on the throttle, hidden one on a pushbutton. if needed, you can disable the obvious kit and you still have the button to keep 'em at bay. if you get called on it, enable the obvious kit and run a way faster time. someone who isn't me used to do that...

BTW, street racing is bad. don't do it children...

If you run a hardcore racer you will get caught no matter what. Everyone knows about the hidden bottle and an exposed dummy one, plumbing in nitrous to the back of the intake, under the seat, etc. About the best and hardest to catch is mounting the bottle outside of the car where the rear bumper support goes, keeping all lines under the car, bring the nitrous line on top of the tranny and come up the trans tunnel to the back of the intake
