Emission control crap could i just rip it out?

[talonsteve25]

So i herd of people taking this crap out, what would i get out of taking it out it if anything and how would i do it? Im guessing all the vacum hoses connect to the throttle body and such have something to do with it. it would be nice to get red of all that i read some where some guy changed his intake mani and just capped the tb nipples? he didnt bother with the vacum lines
thanks

If you don't have any emissions checks in your providence (not sure how Canada works with any of that), the only reason to remove this stuff is to save a bit of weight and clean up the engine bay. You can remove the charcoal canister (under the battery), the EGR valve (and purchase a block off plate for it), and almost all of the vacuum lines.

Here's a few helpful threads:
