Default Nitrous Line Size Question

I know the standard line for a direct port for each nozzle is pretty much -3 or -4....how much of a restriction would a -2 line be? I know it is probably a stupid question, but I am just not smart on flowing this stuffs. I currently have 8" -3 lines but they are just a little too short. I need 10" with a -3 female on each end. The only lines I can find that will match the rest of my fittings (black fittings) are -3 fittings on a -2 line.

Normally the lines on a direct port system are normally 3/16" stainless hard line. If you choose to go with something else you will need to have the system flowed as any tunes that people share will not be usable. I recommend that you buy the 3/16" plumbing kits to make things a little easier to get help tuning the system as you go.

A -2 line is only 1/8", and would affect your flow. If you need a couple of longer lines, give us a call!

No .


1/8" line will be insufficient
