Blue NOS kit vs Sniper NOS kit.
What is the difference?
please don't say zex/ nitrous express/ whatever is better.
I'm curious whats so different between the two for the huge price difference.

Wow that is a huge price differance. I am assuming your talking about wet kits right?
The sniper kits sells for 375 and the blue kit sells for 575 those are the 2 in question?
I am sitting here at the shop looking at the catalog and the only real thing differant thing I am seeing is the bottle valve design.
Take a closer look at the bottles. The orange sniper bottle has a cheapo lookin valve on it while the blue kit has the high flow valve.
But I dont understand how that make s a 200.00 dollar differance????
As for how the sniper works well I have only ever installed the normal blue nitrous kits. But honestly if the valve is the only differance between the 2 it should work just fine.
Plus if you wanted to I wouldnt see why you wouldnt be able to put a high or even a super high flow valve on that orange bottle????

If the bottle/valve is all that is different, I say buy the cheaper kit and then buy a used bottle w/the high flow valve, which can easily be had for less than the $200 difference, and then sell of the "cheap" bottle!

thats the input i was looking for, i'll investigate the bottle designs. I would think a 125 kit is a 125 kit regardless of the valve design. I wonder if a blue bottle with the better high flow would change much of any thing. I wouldn't use more than 125 so i think that will probably do the trick.

Well I look up the prices of the valve. There is a price differance. The sniper valve part no. 16138-snos sells for 34.96 and the high flow valve part no. 16140nos sells for 72.07
So there is something going on with the valves but like you stated I wouldnt see the valve making that much of a differance on just a 125 shot. Now something like a 300 shot then yes I would say the valve would make a huge differeance.

I looked at the valves and on the outside the high flow is shiny vs brass. on the inside who really knows.
