I guess I looked up the subject, but really didn't find a clear answer, I do not think i really need my charcoal canister. I would like to place my oil catch can there, and then maybe that line down to the ground. What do you all think would that be fine?

What if I run a tube to the back of the car lol? Or I wonder how flammable it is to run back into the intake?

I come from a land down under
Buy a small plastic JDM Cannister off one of the half cut guys and install it under the inner fender plastics out of sight.

Problem solved 100% and you're NOT fucking the car up.

If you really want to remove it and dont want to replace it with anything, run a hose from the line down into your fender well. Theres a visible hole there somewhere with a grommet.

Hey, could I run the hose just to the BVSV or does it have to be " running through the charcoal canister?

Also i might want to make a new charcoal canister..

Wait...what?!?!

That will turn the catch can into a bomb...the charcoal canister has charcoal in it for a reason!

Geez...just do as IJ suggested and put a JDM canister in the fender well. This getto rigging is going to get you into a lot of trouble!

Dude if you start bypassing that canister all your weight loss will become weight gain with the fire supression system you have to install. Even if it's one of those 90's fire extinguishers mounted in the cabin...

Crusade....thats funny
