Default Best nitrous filter location?

I'm have the NX Shark nozzle with the 62 jet (150 HP I think), the really old NX Iceman solenoid, and a -4AN feed line. I'm also using two 10 lb bottles Y-ed together. I bought two filters from NX (#15607) because I thought it'd help flow, but if one is enough, then I'll use just one. Where's the best place for the filter(s)?

two filters, each installed immediately after the bottle nipple, but before the Y-fitting?
one filter, installed immediately after the Y-fitting?
one filter, installed immediately before the solenoid?

I guess all these threads mentioning phase change and whatnot have me questioning what could go wrong with my setup ... currently un-filtered.

The filter needs to be as close to the bottles as possible.

There is no need for two filters as it has the potential to cause a restrction in the system.

Well I don't understand the restriction part, seeing they'll be run in parallel and not inline.

I guess i overlooked the fact that you were going to put them before the Y so each bottle has a filter. There will be no restriction in doing this. I guess i pictured you running them inline together.


My bad...Your good to go.
