Where to mount Nitrous Solenoids?

I've done a search and really didn't find much. Where in the engine bay to mount Nitrous Solenoids? Most of the pictures I have seen...the AC has been deleted...but I still have mine. Here is a picture of where mine are mounted right now....but..I'm not happy with where they are mounted...it looks cluttered..any idea's or help...and definently pictures are appreciated.

underneath the plastic intake part?..... or maybe you could go drill into the bottom of the "y" part of the intake.

I say build a nice mounting bracket that bolts to the left hand strut tower, you could even use the extra stud that sticks up from the shock mount area there. There is plenty of extra room on that side, and I think it would look better then cluttering up the passenger side even more like that. How do you like that kit by the way?? Looks just like what I might pick up off one of my friends but he has no documentation for it, so I have no idea what jets to run.

If you don't use the EGR put them under the plenum. It looks very clean and if you do it right its almost impossible to tell if you have nitrous. I bought 2 Earl's 90 degree fittings and put the nozzle on the bottom of the intake ducting with the supply lines running directly back under the plenum to the solenoids. Everything was covered in black poly loom and the solenoids were wrapped in black tape. The purge valve solenoid was mounted behind my brake booster. Last year at the track I had to tell tech about my nitrous after they went through the car and passed it without knowing I had it and planned on using it that night.

I have seen that done a couple of times. That is what I'm gonna do if I buy nitrous. It's just so much "cleaner" under the hood too. Not so cluttered like you are talkin about. And of course the bonus that noone knows you have it. That is an extremely good looking engine bay though, very nice bro.

i squared off some pretty common locations in red. the yellow square is where i had mine when my engine bay was completely stock with a/c. the air box is also a good place if you don't mind doing a little more work.

pretty much can put them anywhere, closer you are to the fuel rails the better though.
