I just picked up my nitrous kit today and this thread was perfect. JimKaray your pictures and the ingenious blow down tube has me thinking that I may have found a great solution to the mounting and the blow down.

Pics of my installation are here. I still need to update with the bottle heater, purge & blown down but as you can imagine it adds more clutter.

Cool, glad it was helpful. What kit did you get?
I'm getting a pmsend permission error so I couldn't reply back to your pm asking for some details on the blow down set up.

Here is the How-to info for any one else who is interested.
Home Made Blow Down Tube

Parts List
[ul][*]6" length of 1" I.D. hose.[*]3' length of 3/4" I.D. hose[*]1 - 3/4" to 3/4" I.D. hose barb.[*]4 - hose clamps[*]1 - 90* or 45* 1/2" copper elbow[*]2 - 4" pieces of 1/2" copper pipe[/ul] Assembly
1) Solder the copper pipe together into a large elbow.
2) Cut the 3/4" I.D. hose barb in half and insert it all the way in one end of 3/4" I.D. hose until flush with the end.
(The cut off barb will prevent the hode from collapsing when clamping together with the 1" I.D. hose.)
3a) Lift the trunk mat and remove the rear hole plug near the tail light.
3b) Cut out the plugs center on three sides only so it opens up like a flap. (just so it can be closed up again)
3c) Reinsert the hole plug in the trunk floor.
4a) Cut an 'X' hole in the trunk mat above the plug.
4b) Push one end of the copper pipe elbow down through the mat and then the plug so it exits out the trunk floor.
5) Slide the 1" I.D. hose section over the burst panel nut, all the way down until it meets the valve. Clamp it down as low as possible on the nut so the vent holes are not obstructed.
6) Slide the 3/4" I.D. hose into the 1" I.D. hose about 3" in and clamp the two together tightly over the center of the hose barb.
7) Slide the other end of the 3/4" I.D. hose over the copper pipe sticking out of the trunk floor and clamp together tight.
