Is NOS! Illegal?

Does anyone know for a fact, that NOS! is illegal?

Some people say it's illegal.

Some people say it's not illegal.

What the heck is it?

I always thought if it was on while driving, it's illegal.

NOS is a brand name, and not by any stretch of the word a technical or scientific term for NO2(sic).

langauge filters are there for a reason. and quit flaming. it makes you look stupid, especially considering you yourself were just as wrong as him. NO2 is nitrite, not nitrous oxide. N2O is nitrous oxide.

Couldnt find it, so I just posted here.

Unhooked? You crazy? That ***** so ****ing dangerous to unhook. Especially without a purge kit.
I meant off as in the handle is off so you wont be able to use it either way because the nitrous tank will be closed off.

Im in South California, does anyone know* the law for NOOOOOOOS!

off road use only here.. you can have it.. but it cant be functional from the drivers seat.. aka you have to get out of the drivers seat to open the tanks..

Cool, maybe it'll be the same here. I think that seems logical, but I'm hoping that is the law.

The only reason I'm calling it NOS is because its easier than saying Nitrous.
Did you happen to ever read the bottle?
NOS is on the sticker.

Nitrous is legal to have in your car, however, use on public roads is illigal. Race use on a close course is legal. Just read the warnings that come with bottle.

i'm thinking that nitrous is illegal to have in your car. i've heard of people getting pulled over for "racing" and then having a police search their car and finding a tank in the trunk (just the tank. no lines/hoses) and ticketing them for using nitrous.

Well, that's the thing... a lot of products say "for off-road use only." So, while the simple presense of that product might not be unlawful, the use of that product is. Having nitrous hooked up isn't, by itself, illegal. What you do with nitrous though...

NO2 is scientific for nitrite, N2O is scientific for nitrous oxide.

yes it depends on the state! Most if not all states it is illegal to use nitrous on public streets! However it is not illegal for you to have a nitrous bottle in your car! Check with your local law enforcement for details!

If NOS is illegal then just by a Nitrous Express or Zex kit.
