Trouble installing Greddy EvoTT exhaust. Please help
I have a little problem. The left rear exhaust bolts up fine, but the right rear has this 'box' with an electrical plug right behind the rear right wheel. It blocks the EvoTT pan (about half way) from going up further. Right now the right side is a lot lower than the left because I can't get it higher.
And even if I did force the 'box' over more to the right, the electrical plug would be very very close to the pan which would eventually melt it.
Firstly: What is the box?
Secondly: What do I do with it? Is this a regular thing? An installation sheet did not come with the exhaust, so maybe I'm supposed to move the box, or something but I don't know.

Well, found out that it's definitely an issue with Greddy TT exhausts, and I 'should' have instructions from Greddy on how to relocate it. Trouble is, they have manual downloads for everything except exhausts. I guess because it should be an easy instal.
Anyway, if I could just see a pic of where it should go that'd be good enough. I just looked at the pic of the tt installed on a car ont he greddy products site, and I can see a black box in the middle of the rear. I assume this is the same box, and it was relocated to the centre of the rear. I don't think it's every safe there, gauranteed that it'll get hit off sooner or later. At leats behind the wheel it was better off.
What is the evap's purpose in life?

It's for emissions regulations. Traps gasoline vapors and prevents them from escaping. Removing it (or doing the relocation poorly) will trigger the check engine light, and you will never get rid of it. Your car will never pass emissions with that CEL if you are required to get a smog check.

If i get rid of it, is there nothing I can put on the wire to turn off the CEL?
How does it catch the gas vapours? Is it somehow connected to something that I'm not seeing?

relocating it would be the best idea.

i barely ever post here, i just lurk alot, but i saw this thread and i had to contribute.
I know how you feel, when i got mine, i was like "wtf?!"
When i installed the Greddy Evo2 on my G35, it came with a bracket that looks like a boxy metal rectangle in a way i guess, also what came with it was some extra tubing, extra bolts, some clamps and some heat wrap. What i figured out was you use the extra tubing to extend the evap canister to the middle of the underside of the car, where your OEM muffler used to be. To mount it up to this you use that boxy rectangle shaped bracket, mount it to the car first then mount the evap canister to the bracket if i recall correctly (or do which ever is more comfortable for you). Use the heat wrap to wrap up the tubing from the evap canister that now sits directly above where your passenger side Greddy Evo muffler is.
here's a few images that may help.
Diagram of evap system
Also a couple pictures of the old version of the greddy evo TT...even though its the old system, the evap canister still sits in the same spot. Its the black box attached to the bracket in the place i described above. Not my pics, found them on google, but had to upload to my photobucket for them to work right.
hope i've been of some help.

This is exactly what I needed. I wonder how come my system didn't come with any of those things you mentioned. That sux! I'm gonna have to go have a guy 'rig' it up. i guess it can be bolted up without the bracket, but having the hoses and heat wrap etc. would have been sooooo helpfull.
greddy!!!!

Not goin to believe this, but the guy who installed the exhaust thought those parts were just extra's in case it was for another or something.
He had put the stuff in the box ready to be DUMPED!
Anyway, I asked him today, and he said he did see some parts like what I was describing, and showed me them. I was both relieved and a bit upset that he didn't just ask what the hell they were for. Lol. Not his fault I guess.
There were no instructions in the damn box!

True. I wish I could do everything myself, but work comes first. I don't have the time to do the car and work. I'm tryin to get the car on the road asap. It's been in the shop for months... (long story).

Some people had asked me to take pics of the kit and measurements.
I wrote the damn measurements down, but i can't find it now. I'll get them again later.
Here is the kit...
1) Two hoses for the extension of the hoses currently on the car.
2) About a 6"x10" square piece of 'heat guard' (cant remember the correct term, too much on my mind)
3) The metal bracket. (measurements to come)
