It's basically for areas that see altitude and pressure changes often, and 2 is more than overkill, there are a bunch of folks that delete them altogether. I just T'd the driver side out as it just has all of that mess run over the engine. I'm trying to slowly declutter my engine bay and make it something nice to look at instead of a mess. Also make it easier to work on and get to things.

Still have to cut the excess hose and mount the passenger side canister somewhere out of the way. I'm thinking in the space behind the partition. Then I'll be able to delete the o2 sensor bridge. I have some plans for how to route that wiring as well.
Is the only benefit to removing this aesthetics?
