Best way to run the Nitrous feed line?

My nitrous bottle is mounted in the bottom of the hatch area. I wondering if I should route inside or outside the car? I want to make sure it reaches with no problems.

I ran mine throught the center counsel in the car and just drilled a hole in the fire wall. That way it would be easy to take out if necessary, and is not exposed to the underside of the car. Just remember to grommet the line when you pull it throught the firewall, otherwise chaffing could occur

I have done it both ways, I like to mount my bottle in the spare tire well deleting the spare tire. because most people dont look there. i run the line under the plastic wheel well cover down to the passenger door sill plate and under it. I then run it behind the right passenger kick panel. when you remove this panel you will find the antenna wire body grommet, slit it (pie slice)and run the line through that hole and push the grommet back in place with the line in the slit. run the line up the fender to the sort of triangle hole where all the engine harness (on the pasenger side) comes out of the hole in the engine comparment and route it to the selenoids.

Is it NHRA legal to run the pressured nitrous line through the cab rather than along the underbody? I just want to make sure I'm legal...anyone know right off hand?

The feed line can be in the pass. compartment,the blowoff valve on the bottle must be vented outside.

I ran mine under the carpet..under the rocker panel cover, under the carpet again, and then through the firewall.

The feed line can be in the interior as long as it's the braided line and not some slap hose job (yes I've seen it). The blow off valve relief must exit the interior.

like steve says its legal but dont just let it flap around in the passenger compartment, i.e. : dont wrap it around both seats, once around your noggin, through the steering wheel, and around the top of the shifter then through the fire wall just to get rid of the excess length.
