Default Nitrous feed line.

alright n2o elite I am feeding my n2o line through the drain plug in my trunk on the passenger side. My issue is that no matter how I try to route the line its really close to my exhaust pipe ,possibly less than a 1/16 of an inch, where the pipe comes over the axles. So my question to you fine gentlemen is how safe is it to have the line at its current location? approximately how hot does the exhaust pipes get? because the Teflon line itself can hold up to about 600 degrees but I'm wondering how the nitrous inside the line will react. thanks!

Run it inside the car and through the firewall near the passenger side heater outlet. You must drill one hole. Good instructions are available on the Nitrous Express website I believe.

I would rather have it outside the car just safer and some tracks require the line to be underneath. I don't think the exhaust pipe gets all that hot near the axles but I figured I would ask.

My stainless tips turn blue from heat....safer inside to car to me.

^really? I'm going to have to say I have never seen blue tips on any vehicle. Is that before or after the use of nitrous? I guess my question is does the nitrous increase the exhaust temp?

As long as it's not actually touching it will be fine.
