Hmm, I wouldn't get it.

The bottle looks like one of those used for CO2 for paintball guns, the hose is not steel braided line, the on/off valve is what's used on CO2 bottles for remote lines for paintball guns..................now I could be wrong here, but I am now expert when it comes to Nitrous systems.

I would go w/ something from Nitrous Express. I know there are stealth systems out there if that's what you want.

But go w/ a set-up and manufacturer that provides such things as steel braided lines, on/off solenoids, purge valves, and such.

Nitrous systems/set-ups are somthing that one should not go cheap on.

it has no solenoid so there is nothing to control the flow, sounds like a perfect recipe for unmeasured nitrous, lean conditions, blown engines, and underhood fires.

I know this isnt the point but braided lines are far from needed if I could i would purposely stay away , only more eye catching for a cop if u get popped. I do like their lines and bottle , the lack of a solenoid is a no no though.

If you have a little gas scooter or pocket bike you don't mind blowing up......I'd get it.

But for a car......no way. This kit has no regulatoin or fail-safe measures. If you want something that is concealable.........Venom makes a kit.......the Recluse.
