Its all about preference IMO. I didn't bother hiding mine, because I could care less if people know i have it. OF course, my car is not exactly a sleeper with the !cats, TDs and bullets. I guess it depends on your setup, and also whether you race for money. You will be a lot more sucessful (and dishonest) if you don't advertise the spray during money races.
Mine is hidden right now in the spare tire area but its getting put under the hatch area so the battery can go in there.
I would try and keep it hidden but everyone in the city that knows the car knows its a nitrous car.........

I had mine out in the open when I ran just nitrous.
Now that I have my 370 and lil turbo, I'm going to hide mine so I can backhand them damned turbo vipers and liter bikes . . . (they don't have to know)

How much effect does it have on nitrous flow mounting the bottles sideways like in the above photo? I was always under the impression they needed to be mounted valve to the front of the car?..
The pick up tub in the bottle is pointed down 180* from the valve, so when putting the bottle side ways youll need to turn it about 45* so under wot the nitrous will slosh to the side of the bottle were the pickup tub is, Ive done this for years and never had any probems,
And for racing on the street ,I beleave that showing what you got is the best way to keep peaple from saying that i was cheating because i was running nitrous (run what you brung) If i show it then they can deside if they want to run me. The bottles just show i have nitrous but under under the hood ,I just cant hide it if i wanted to. And i might show it But trust me its not a show car !!!!!!

IMHO looking ahead if you are invested in keeping the bottle for an extended period of time GOD FORBID there is a mishap and you get rearended somewhere (not your fault) and the police arrive and find the bottles. Say goodbye to your $$ and speed in exchange for vanity (which i myself am guilty of). Or maybe your car is parked and a ***** cop having a bad day walks past your car in a parkling lot, or anywhere else for that matter and decides to be a *****...say goodbye once again. My point is, the majority of the reason to "have" the bottle it for 'go'.....SECONDARY 'show' right? I would rather always have the bottle to play, with a tiny bit of remorse for the non-look, than be regretful and knowing I could possible still have it if i was a littel more humble. I'm not preaching, or at least trying not to, I would just hate to see such a fun peice of equipment taken away.
Lastly if you are at show's your hood will be up and people will be able to tell nitrous is on the car anyhow right? Swallow the pride and enjoy the ride
