Take the manifold off and look at how the runners are shaped and you'll see what i mean. As for safety your car won't explode if the bottle breaks open in FF that was actually because he was racing with a bar of Plastiq in the car. I've screwed around with N2O before (it's really fun) and all it does is make things burn faster and hotter. You can turn salami or a candle into an rocket with it but you can't make them explodeso in the event of an accident if you're N2O cylinder were to rupture you would only have a problem if you were trapped in the vehicle because there would be one nasty fire but no bang.

Also consider that you can buy a DOT approved gas cylinder to keep it in like all the the other MILLIONS of gas cylinders transported in the US daily. My grandpa had a cylinder of PURE O2 that was twice the size of most nitrous bottles and he got in three accidents (2 major) before we took his keys.

Thank you! This was the answer I was looking for. Before I talked to a friend I was pretty convinced myself after you all had said it wasn't like F&F that for nitrous companies to be in business I doubt people would keep buying / driving around with time bombs in their car and I has figured by now and also mentioned to him there has to be some type of bottle or enclosure that would prevent explosion but he pretty much rejected that idea saying "what do you think would happen if you shot a bottle of N2O with a gun or crashed going 200 MPH in a very (talking down to me) manner. Since he is a JDM head or at least thinks he is and EURO has always been my scene and N2O isn't big with EUROS nobody ever talks about it and i just assumed what he was saying was true considering the fact that N2O is pretty much completely foreign to me. The 2 scenarios he supplied are completely ridiculous but me knowing nothing about N2O just left me giving up that battle just to keep thinking it was explosive.

THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT ALL UP THOUGH!

How did you know that guy has a bar of plastique in the car in F&F though? Was there a scene that showed that, that I missed?

There wasn't a scene thats how they do it with special effects somebody said cut, the actors got the hell out of the way, and the Pyro I mean explosives expert loaded the car with plastic exploves and they blew the crap out of it with the camera rolling and Vinnie screaming NAWWZZZ.

Basiclly Nitrous makes fires worse(duh) and NAWZ explodes violently so your buddy who owns a civic(guessing) is friggen doomed but you'll be fine.
