I dont see why spraying would be illegal in PA. I live in PA and I see plenty of cars with nos and their cars are inspected. Then again I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure you can have it.

I think the only problem is transporting it...aka having it in your car on the street

just don't get caught with it or only have the bottle in at the track

unless your inspections are like CA then I would be scared to mod your car period!

I believe that as long as the bottle is not hooked up you can have it in the vehicle. In other words you can have it mounted but the hoses have to be disconnected

does it really matter? if it's in the trunk, he can't look at it. just take it out for inspection.

Yeah im pretty sure you can't have it conected like Warlord said. I think you may not be allowed to be in at all cause say you get rear-ended....and then boom? I dunno but its gonna be hard for a cop to tell if theres a bottle of n2o in the trunk.

I've seen so many cars with NOS and I live in PA. So it might not be legal but everyones doing it thats for sure. Also cops can look at whatever they want in your car man. I'm a military cop and state has more power then us and I've done/seen cops get away with some stupid shit. Fact is, it takes alot to prove that a cop is wrong. Two words . . . probable cause! LOL

Well Im still wondering how much the fine is if you get caught and every body know that nitros isnt flamible its an oxidizer but any thing under 1000 psi or higher is like a bo#b. he is right dont wana get into and accedent theres that chance.

You can have it in your car but can't have it connected. If you have the bottles hidden in the trunk you'll be fine cause a cop can't look in your trunk unless you let him. If he opens it without your permission its illegal and you hire a lawyer.

that is probably the first time I've EVER heard of that

and to my knowledge they don't as that would be totally pointless.

Unless you're already FI, don't even bother running less than a 50 shot.

you should be more than fine

even if you're auto you should be able to run a 50 shot all day

there are 2.2 guys running a 75 shot on a regular basis with no problems...and as soon as I learn how to wire I will be one of them. ;)

Ohhh i know that but if the bottle is preassurized wouldn't it still create some type of explosion?

if you threw it in a bonfire maybe... you're not likely to have an issue if you try to "smash it". the type of impact that it would take... well, you'd be a stain anyway.

well look....at my accident they asked to see my trunk to make sure it wasnt connected and this is what i was told....it is illegal everywhere on the street...here in va they will take your license, car, and you to jail....FELONY!!!! i believe no state allows any n2o system to be installed and ACTIVE on the street. I.E. Connected and ready to arm....it is perfectly legal to have eveything in the car but the line to the bottle MUST be diconnected

PS i am running 50 on the regular and quite often a 75 and no prob....75 is getting to the point that a heater is helpfull to maintain bottle pressure (most important) starts to surge when bottle gets low but not as bad when on 50 shot

Yeah i knew it was some form of illegal if you had it in there. But what if its shut off? could the bottle still be in there or no?

Oh and by the way man.....My kit came in yesterday from dynotune. Just need to get the window switch and the purge kit and im good to go :guns:
