Removing only the canister, which is what I did, and leave the rest of the system to avoid any CEL is really easy. I did it about 2 years and 30k miles ago and haven´t had a single problem.

You only need to buy two K&N RU-3230 filters, or from other company with the same specifications, the K&N work perfect because they have the required inside diameter, remove the canister and place the filters in place.

Remove the line that goes from here to the canister and put one filter, or run a line to under the car.



And cut the line from the canister to the N80 and place a filter here.



Here is what the engine bay looks like.



Hope this helps! :thumbsup:

first post coming from "those other" forums. I've got a 2013 GLI and have been trying to figure out a simple solution to be able to run a quad exhaust.

since our EVAP canister is under the rear body on the opposite side of the exhaust, im wondering if any of you think there would be danger to running this K&N filter solution on the outside?

seems safe in the engine bay but just wondering if it's a bad idea to delete the charcoal canister (which is the main thing that blocks the path of running an exhaust pipe to that side) and instead run the filters in place.

thanks!

In case someone is interested...

I deleted the canister using 2 mini K&N filters, no problems for the last 6k miles and of course no CEL.

TL;DR

All you need to do is hook up an old fuel filter from the Mk1 days through the system and delete. Provided there are no leaks you are good to go guys. No CEL yadda yadda

Did you get a ticking sound after? I did both filters and am getting a ticking from the n80 valve when fully warmed up. If plug hose it stops. Any ideas

That noise is the N80 opening, when removing the canister and using the 2 filters is just louder and easier to be heard, but with the OEM parts installed you can hear the same noise, but at much lower volume.

I have been using the filters for 4 years and 48k miles with no problems at all.
