What is the black canister behind the right shock tower? Can it be removed? Sorry IDK what to call it.

 

Charcoal canister, yes it can be removed, theirs vacuum diagrams hiding somewhere around with ways to delete it, I believe block off the line on the bottom and theirs a line on your oil filler neck and at the housing underneath the filler neck, take those 2 lines and connect them to a catch can, or put them into a coke can. same difference.

 

yup, the charcoal canister. part of the evaporative emissions system. just leave it be. theres no reason to remove it...
