Default Cleaned up the nitrous in the engine bay! (pics)

I wish I could say that "I" did this, but I didn't so I have to give all credit to the crew over at a local performance shop!!!! They did a great job!

Here's what it looked like to begin with....





Now, granted, I never had a problem with the nitrous. It worked great but it wasn't very appeasing to the eyes. I wanted to change that and I have no creative side so I dropped the car off to Transman and crew. Here's what they did...









Cleaned up all the wires on the driver side:



Relocated the window switch to the passenger side. Hmmmm, I wonder if I should start using that little thing. I don't know, I like spraying through the shifts




I'm diggin how short the lines are now



So, what do you guys think?

Looks noce. I'm installing my wet kit and I've monuted everything almost like your setup. Hopefully I'll end up with something close to yours. Thanks for posting the pics ... nice job.

Wow that bracket is beautiful. And as posted above, do you think the shorter lines will actually make the kit hit harder? Isn't the jet going to spray the same amount?

yes it will spray the same but it will get there quicker. instead of loosing speed/volume by filling a line and coming on over about .5 seconds it will hit at near full pressure instantly.

And I'll see if that's going to benefit me or make it even more of an issue to hook out of the hole.

Love the noid mount. I think I'll steal your idea if ya don't mind. Some in the industry have copied my orginal noid mount in that location, after they said it wouldn't work cause of heat, but proved em wrong. Nice job.

I think I'll make it out of polished SS, like the style/mount I made below (as long as you don't care if I copy ya). Note the button head bolts, cleans it up even more.

Good question. I'm curious about that myself. These were preview pics that I got from the shop. I still don't have the car back yet. I'll post more pics once I get it.

Well, it wasn't my idea. And, I don't think there's a patent on it.
I think you should do it, I'd like to see it in a polished look.
