   Hey been told today to do away with my carbon canister? How do I do this? Can I just cut the pipe coming from the throttle body near the throttle cable?

   Lol, this is because someone has told you it'll make your exhaust pop.
   
   Seriously, just take in the advice given to you in your first thread.
