Default purging?

I was wondering if there is a way to purge the nitrous out of the front of the hood on a ws6. I think that would be badass and would make it look like smoke coming out of a dragon's nostrils. I am thinking about getting a nitrous kit for my 00 ws6, but I am wondering how safe is it? My car is a daily driver and mostly stock. Any input on a good basic system would be helpful.

Thanks

People do it all the time. I'm not sure what all is involved, but I know it can be and has been done numerous times.

I'm pretty sure you have to cut the SS hood to make it work, but I don't think there's any cutting required to make it work on the WS6 hood. I could be wrong, though.

NX makes a kit, just hit the market, that has like 12 feet of flexable tubing. I have the part number somewhere . . . . I will dig it up and PM you
Or just call them or Nitro Daves. I think it was apart of their F&F line

i did it on my TA, just get a T fitting that a 4an line will screw on and run like 6-7 feet of regular nitrous line down the motor and up under the radiator to the T. looks badass!!!

I did it :


N2O and purge noids in front by the hood latch, ran the NX dual purge kit ("T" and 2x18" stainless lines) up through the bumper support and out the front air intake.

If you're wanting to have it come out the actual airbox intake ("nostrils") you could come up through the bottom of the airbox and out. I think mine is close enough.

More pics on my website in the sig.

Good luck !
