Depends on where you're at....In Va you can have the bottle.....just cant have the line hooked up and no N2O in the line (this may have changed with those new shitty laws....i know atleast the fine went up)

Regardless, you're allowed to have a nitrous system on your vehicle on the street, a cop can't give you a ticket just for finding solenoids under the hood. He can, however, give you a hassle if he/she is able to see the bottle in the open, or if the valve is open.

In Indiana I know its not illegal to have a bottle in the car and hooked up. I had a Indiana state trooper stop me and we got to talking about how fast my car would run on the bottle. He was really cool and did not say a word about the nitrous being illegal.

had the nice white NX bottle mounted under the hatch in plain view and never had a cop say a word (even the pr!ck state trooper who threatened to write me a ticket for my front bumper being more than 3" lower than my rear . . . I asked him to show me where to measure my front bumper at)
so I am curious for sure if IL is illegal or not

i can never get a straight answer for california.

After ticketing the speeder, the two officers head to a nearby street racing hot spot. Although it is empty, they soon notice a silver 1998 Ford Mustang without license plates. To Bozyk and King, that signals a car that may be tricked out for street racing.
The driver allows them to inspect under the hood. A tank of performance-enhancing nitrous oxide gas is connected to the intake manifold.
They confiscate the tank and write the driver a ticket. The ticket will refer the driver to the Bureau of Automotive Repair, because such alterations are against state emissions standards, Bozyk said.
