The braided metal also abosrbs heat so it's even more crucial for 'performance' to protect the lines.
Yeah is it not fun when you line burst at a traffic light next to a cop in a riced out civic. Oh well learned my lesson.

I'm thinking that would be an awkward position. Did you just look around whistling and acting all innocent.

LMMFAO @ 1/2 Life
A story that awesome IS USELESS without pictures though
God I would die to see that, hehehehe, and proff right there the Braided ALSO let lose under the wrong circumstances, I know it would have Sat under those conditions.

Thanks all, and YES we were lucky
Actually the luckiest thing that happen was NOT using the N20,
IT WAS A SIGN I TELL YA. You saw the plug, and that is only one, I need to get out there and finish the easy side now and see the other bad ones (and there are others) Until I find out WTF is going on with my Motor (@$^%@($%@$(%@$(@$*(@$%(*@$%(@$^%@(*$&%@($^%@*($^% @(*$%@*($^%@(*$%(@*$^%@($^@%$(^@%$*(^@%$(*^@%$*@^$ %(@$%(@$%(@$%(@$& I think that 150 shot I had all set up to Spray Saturday could have been a BIG NO NO (ok maybe thats an understatement, hehehehe)
I dont have to tell anyone how *@$%@$^#@ pissed off I am over this plug issue. But for the record, next time out, it WILL be hit with a MINIMUM of that ; o ) AND THAT YOU CAN TAKE TO THE BANK, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF WAITING, THE WAITING IS OVER, @&$% THIS!! If it blows up, I'll part it out and collect the, well you know......

On a happier note, times like this I'm proud to be the Ole Test L for Race Tested, although my duty's as that test vehicle have ended, the support, help, and expertise I get from D will never end, and for that I will always be grateful, know I'm dealing with the right Company, AND be the proud owner of what I strongly believe is thee best n20 system in the world.

Sal (I know your listening pal) and I know you dont like the EGR DELETE, and warn it can even cause a lean condition, but since I burn plugs every 2 seconds anyway, and have to change plugs every time I take the truck for a ride, I THINK IT'S BYE BYE EGR TIME cause GOT DAM it's in the way of EVERYTHING. I will start a post and ask how it's done, anyone that knows, please respond...

Thanks All

i turned up the radio, still got a ticket....but not for the nitrous

told him it was my turbo, had a broken bearing and at low speed or idle sometimes makes a nasty noise, i promised to get it fixed asap...and i did not even have a turbo. thank god he was not a car guy.
He even asked me what the switch on my dash was for, told him it was a on/off switch for my subwoofer.

I love to see posts like this. Not that we hate braided but this same thing happened at the Highpower office for the fuel supply line and started a fire. So when people think our nylon is dangerous and braided is the almighty, well it won't short circuit and start a fire I assure you of that.

I know what you mean. I got pulled over for not making a complete stop and forgot my license in my gym bad which was in the back of my SUV. The two cops were standing right next to when I lifted my door and exposed the nitrous tank. I just grabbed my license and shut the door right away.

My scuba tanks required an annual visual inspection too, not sure if N20 tanks would but they are still a pressure vessel??
