well i've yet to actually INSTALL my purge kit, it's still sitting in it's box on my counter... hehe but when it goes in this weekend i'm going to spray it out the two "nostrils" on my hood (it's a '96, 99+'s don't have any nostrils)

hopefully it'll look pretty neat! i stole the idea from a guy i knew with a trans am ws6, just thought it looked great

My ZEX dry kit is on the way. I read over the installation procedure a few minutes ago (off the ZEX website). Looks pretty simple and straight forward. I do have a couple of questions though...

Did you run your supply line underneath the body of the car like they recommend? If not, where did you run it?

Did you insert the nozzle into the air intake tubing or did you tap it into the actual TB? I am thinking of tapping into the TB plenum since I have a spare one.

Is a purge kit really neccesary? I am just using the car for street use and will probably hardly ever hit the juice, but I want it there just in case.

Also...where did you mount the arming switch?

I mounted my arming switch in the center console. I removed the accessory power plug, so I didn't have to drill holes.

The zex kit is a very easy install, you can practically throw it at the car and call it a day

yes, run the line under the car, but not beneath everything, put it up and over what you can, so you don't shred the line when you bottom out, i'd also suggest wrapping the line with electric tape everywhere that it may come into contact with other metal, no matter how innocent the contact may seem, better to wrap it now, than to replace the line later

you don't want to mount the nozzle in your upper intake plenum because the spray needs a few inches to atomize, you're best off going 6-8 inches from the throttle body, on your intake, i actually bought an after market intake simply for the purposes of drilling the hole for my nozzle, i just wasn't comfortable with the plastic

you really don't need a purge kit unless you're looking to get someone's attention, if you wanna clear the lines, just hit WOT once before you really go for your run. it is pretty cool lookin tho

i mounted my arming switch on the center console, in front of the stick, though it was a tight fit, and in retrospect, i might have rethought my placement.

I ended up mounting mine in the rear cup holder base. Mainly because I can remove the switch and reinstall the rubber base in the cupholder and no one can ever tell. Mounted the SMART box under the intake on the passenger side inner fender well. The only part I dislike is the drilling of the intake tube. It just doesn't feel to secure in the cheap plastic tube supplied by K&N
