if it is not long enough I have seen a couple guys connect some breaded rubber hose to the end of the blow down tude and vent it out of the car that way. Don't know how well it worked for them but i know I have seen it done before.

where would you drill a hole? remove the back seats, and you can mount the bottle there without any worries.

I used about a 3 inch piece of 3 inch vynal tubing. It has worked fine for me so far, but i have never had it blow.

i was trying to say exactly what i said.

i asked where you would drill a hole for the BDT if you had the bottle on the driveshaft hump, without taking out the back seats.

then, i offered an idea of removing the back seats, and mounting the bottle in one of those indented areas, because there are many places to put the BDT, and it reaches.
