You can also contact Nitrous Oxide Systems. I'm pretty sure they off some 50 state legal kits, so they could tell you what is needed for a system to be "legal".

I heard there is a law pending in New York City to ban nitrous.. Guess the law makers feel that is more important to hassle drivers than fight real crime.
Some people will do anything for a vote or two!

Pa resident too, wanted to know if it legal, let me know about your pending case, I shouldn't have to much to worry about, bottle and stuff hidden, except for the 2 1/6 No2 pressure guage next to the cig lighter.

Georgia Nitrous Oxide Ban Legislation Dies - 2000
Georgia legislation (H.B. 1183) that sought to ban the street use of nitrous oxide systems in vehicles operated on public roads passed in the House but, due to time constraints, did not make it through the Senate before the legislature adjourned.
H.B. 1193, as originally written, sought to unfairly prohibit all public road use of passenger cars or pickup trucks equipped with nitrous oxide delivery systems. In other words, any car with a nitrous set-up would have been in violation of the law, regardless of whether the system was operable or not. In response to complaints from hobbyists and the affected nitrous oxide producing industry, SEMA succeeded in modifying the bill. As amended, the mere presence of nitrous systems in vehicles on public roadways would not have constituted a violation.
The SEMA Action Network is particularly grateful for the work of State Representative Alan Powell. "Representative Powell, a street rodder in his youth and a powerful member of the Motor Vehicle Committee, was resolute in his commitment to protecting manufacturers and hobbyists from a blanket ban and ensuring the continuation of legitimate uses of nitrous systems," commented SEMA Director of State Relations Steve McDonald.
We would also like to mention the efforts of The Georgia hobbyist community for their interest in this bill. With the involvement of SEMA Action Network contact clubs like the North Georgia Mopar Club, we are all hopeful that ill-considered legislation like H.B. 1193 will not be reintroduced in the next legislative session.

It is illegal to USE nitrous in MD so they may get you if it is hooked up because that shows intent.
It has nothing to do with being an illegal power adder either. Power adders are not illegal. It is illegal when you use something that states it is legal for offroad use only, could be a bumper higher than 18" nothing to do with poweradders.

man you're lucky out here in Jacksonville/onslow you're not suppose to have it hooked up or in the car. but mine is hidden well. plus with a new hidden setup soon to come. they can have good luck finding it. false bottom on in the trunk.

I searched for an hour online last night but I could find nothing. I'm going to run nitrous regardless of the laws but if its really illegal in WV I may try to hide the bottle better.
