I was told today after my wife dropped my 08 xB off at the stealership taht my carbon canister is beginning to get clogged and it'll be $768.00 to replace! I was like, Ummm, say what? So, do I really need this? And I looked it up and its a CHARCOAL CANISTER, freakin dumbasses at the stealership, now I REALLY trust them!! lol

P.S.-My wife did drive through some high water with is and I read that sometimes if its cracked or something and water gets in there that can make the check engine light come on? But shit its a 2008 with around 60k miles on it, doesn't seem there should be this many issues with it!

RIP IT OUT!!!!

No seriously... Rip it out. You will pass emissions without any of the little doodads and addons they put in there.

O/T: BTW Chris that valve body showed up. You rock bro, love that you packaged this thing well!
