Common sense tells me that its illegal on the street. But, other sources disagree. Tennessee Highway Patrol has a interactive listing of all Tennesee code. Nowhere does it mention the words Nitrous Oxide.


My Dad is a traffic court Judge inTennessee. He says that its NOT illegal, aslong as you dont break anyother laws. IS this just in Tn?

Whats the verdict?Is it illegal to spray? to have the bottle on?Is it illegal to purge?

I've always wondered this too. While it may not say anything about it I would imagine that using it on the streets would be illegal since you have an intent to race/speed. Not sure about the purging though...

i think ford made some POS car with a bottle stock but if you hooked it up your warranty was voided, this true? i forgot where i heard it

No, its not illegal. Exhibition of acceleration is illegal. It's kinda like saying having 500 HP on the street is illegal. No, its not illegal to have all that power, its just illegal to use it in a wreckless manner.

Ok, so just having it hook up and bottle open is ok? Cool

I think that was the Saleen Focus.

Well now that I think about it how would it be illegal to have since they could never prove you were using it? If they say something about the purge tell them your radiator is ****ed up

Yeah the saleen focus had it from factory. I've always heard it was illegal to have the bottle on but ive never read this anywhere.

I live in VA and this is the law...
