LS2 in 92 - current Evap system?
What's the current thinking on how to do gas tank venting/evap? Posts here are pretty thin, the best being this one:
I'm trying to do a mostly shaved bay and the charcoal can is butt-**** ugly. Has anyone come up with a more elegant (and less visible) solution? Perhaps using a smaller round charcoal can (there seems to be a few for Suzuki bikes that are that style).
This product intrigues me:

Take a look at the diagram in the instructions, pretty simple. $170 vent thing with clamp plus the $10 vent and you are good to go... Downsides are the thing has to be higher than the gas tank and has to be mounted vertical. Also you need a non-vented gas cap.
Thoughts?

I'm still using all the Miata's factory evap lines and charcoal canister connected to the LS1's factory purge valve on the intake manifold. The canister relieves the excess tank pressure and the GM factory programming is sufficient to purge the canister via the valve. Never had even a whiff of fuel scent from the engine bay.

Found this very helpful, concise write up of the 05-06 GTO EVAP system with diagram..

Looks like I can replicate it with the $25 solenoid and a charcoal can and just run the factory evap controls. But if I am going to spend $125+ (cans runs around $100) why not just buy the fancy can-less solution I posted previously and not have to screw around with the wiring and programming? I'm in Michigan so this is purely to avoid fuel smell, not mandated emissions testing.
