Default Nitrous Routing Suggestions?

I'd like your feedback on ideal hose routing. I'm mid install right now so please excuse the the wire mess running down the passenger side and the nitrous hose over the engine.

I was the install to be pretty "clean" in that I want things to be pretty well out of the way. Somewhat hidden but I don't really care if someone can find stuff.

With that in mind, what do you all think of mounting the solenoids here between the CAI and the headlight area? Is there a better place? I think I'd like to purge down towards the street. Is it important to actually see it for any reason? Also, I have two sets of hoses to go from the solenoids to the nozzle, a short ~8" and a longer 18" one. I think I'll use the 18" one to make the hit a little more gentle and will route it under the CAI to the nozzle in the elbow.



The downside of this location is that I would need another 2.5-3 feet of nitrous feed line. Any good solenoid locations that don't require extra feed line?

Here is how I'm thinking of routing the lines and wires. Out from behind the PCM and over the wheel well will be exposed, then whey will dive down by the battery, transfer in front of the radiator to go across the car (hidden) and cut back over to the solenoids (blue). I might do this "!wire mod" style where they go under the fender...TBD. The fuel feed line I'd run to the solenoids following the main fuel lines (green). This sound good or any better ideas?


On a side note, I just finished installing my Mallory 685 in the cabin under the passenger seat and noticed that it makes a quiet humming noise when running. Is this normal? I'm guessing it is, but it is still annoying...
The seat isn't back in yet which I'm sure would help quiet it down.

Where in the elbow do you plan on mounting the nozzle??

Line routing seems good to go.

I was thinking in the bottom of the elbow, either just before or just after the place where the silencer tube used to be.

Where would you recommend from your experience?

Thanks!

Aren't you suppose to purge until you see a nice thick cloud?
