Home-made Ram Air?

Has anyone tried it? I'm gonna try doing it the way explained in on of the tech articles here on thirdgen. It mentions something about relocating the evaporating canistor on the drivers-side front of the engine bay, right by the headlights. I was wondering if you can just get rid of it. I thought that you can, because all it does is recycle fumes or something. Well, has anyone removed it? What all is needed to be done?

I have heard of people filtering it off, or redirecting it to the underneath of their car, or even plugging it. I don't think it is that big of a deal, I would just get rid of the canister and send the lines out somewhere. It will clean up your engine bay in more than just the place it is located. Damn, I want to get rid of that stupid thing now..

It works extremely well and was very cheap to do. I've provided all procedures and most of the parts...
