NOS and Our cars

Hi guys. I was talking with my local dealer and he says that I can run nos all day on our civics if we have a decent free flowing exhaust (headers, muffler, etc.) granted he said only a 50 shot because our fuel return systems suck. I was wondering how any of you with nos out there have your cars set up and if you can truely use it a lot without many problems? Also what strong header would you recommend for a free flowing set up. I have the piping and muffler already (2.5" piping) so I just need a good solid header. But mainly I want to know how you people with nos have your car set up. Thank you.

You cant just use your nitrous all the time you want. And 50 shot is pretty safe in our cars. But you dont need a header to run your nitrous. When your going to use your nitrous dont use it longer than 15 seconds or it can be dangerous.

fuel return systems suck.
You must mean "returnLESS fuel systems suck." As for the nitrous, you can't run nitrous all the time. Too many things can go wrong and you will **** up your car. Not to mention you would be filling the bottle a quite bit more often than you would have to.

You can't run nitrous all the time...... some accord guy ran it every day and his tranny was melted to pieces.

BTW, there's more nitrous info here!
