Hey just a couple of questions, Whats a carbon canister? what does it do? and is their a benefit of removing it?

It traps or draws the fuel vapours from the fuel tank and then sent through the engine when its running, otherwise your car will stink of fuel. Besides, its illegal to remove it, needs to stay on for emission laws if you're vehicle came out with it. A lot of people just hide them under the front guard.

And there is no performance gain from removing it anyway
