Discussion on why to hide your system.
Eh, my kit isn't "hidden" but it's dumbed down. All the braided lines and wiring is inside looms. I pulled all the stickers off the noids. I just wanted the engine to look as close to stock as possible. I have the noids mounted where the EGR goes and many people overlook my nitrous system.
There are many other reasons to appreciate my car, instead of "hey he's got nawwwwwsssss" My neon lights make it a ricer's wet dream, don't need them blowin their load when they see the 15lb bottle, etc.

No offense to other people's hard work, but I "hid" mine under the fuse boxes because I saw all the installation pics here and on LS1.com. I didn't like what I saw and I didn't want (what I consider) a sloppy installation. If you looked you'd see the nozzle and lines running to my bellow, so it's not like I can lie about having it. After I get Dave's fusebox-side fuel cell I'm going to have to relocate the 'noids by the air pump.
So, why did I hide? Because it keeps everything looking cleaner!

I had a power ring nx setup and I got hassled all the time by street racers saying it was a two stage. The stealthier the better to avoid all the stupid questions people ask about nitrous. I have a loud *** car too, so hiding my nitrous lines would have been a waste. I got beat by a guy at a street race that ended up having a hidden 2 lb bottle. The only reason I suspected nitrous was because of how hard he pulled me in 4th gear. They had it on a push botton activation so they used just enough to win races. It worked for a little over a month before it was discovered.

To make the cleanest install possible. The absolute ONLY visible sign ANYWHERE in the car that I have nitrous (without pulling the fender off) is to look in the trunk to see the bottle.
They main reason for hiding nitrous around here is for when it comes down to street racing.I have mine hidden only b/c of street races. I have had hidden kits used on me b4 but not no more.lol
[QUOTE=XTrooper]No police problems here. 
X: I assume it will vary from one jurisdiction to another but is it really illegal. If so I don't understand the justification. Why is a nitrous car making 400 hp illegal and it is legal to have a legal Z06 or a Viper making more power? How could they prove what effect it has on the car or that it even works?

Man, I guess I am the odd man out. I like having my stuff on display. Not yo many guys will mess with a Z06 and Nitrous. That's the main reason I mount my bottle under the rear window, so everyone can see it. I have people at the track asking/talking cars because of it and I enjoy this. Also, I like to put my work on display. Looking inside the car they will also see a LM1 wide band hanging off of the windshield, and my LapTop mounted to a police mount hanging over my center console. Not to mention Fuel and N2O pressure gauges on pillar, and custom switch panel in ash tray that remains open for purge access. Ricer intimidation, want some, come get some.

Now Robert you trying to scare a ricer away, like bluffing with a pair of twos..... Jus kidding, I really liked the "not yo many guys will mess with a zo6 and nitrous". I love vettes but damm man come on. How many times you get cracked by a camaro on the juice, or worse a ricer. lol.............
I am glad to see some people like showing off their work, because lets face it, when you do it, you should be proud of it...
Either for the world to see or self happiness.
Robert you get your MAF yet, I am having to reorder and do not want you to mis-out.
