Nissan Evaporative (EVAP) Emission Control System Cleaning Procedure Service Bulletin
If the EVAP canister leaks (or has leaked) charcoal, it must be replaced. In addition to replacing the canister, the entire EVAP emission control system must be cleaned to remove charcoal particles released by the leaking canister. To clean the EVAP emission control system, use the service procedure starting on page 3.

2002-2005 Acura RSX Short Ram System
AEM Short RAM System for Acura RSX 2002-2005. The AEM Short Ram Air Intake System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars. It is the most advanced short pipe air intake system on the market. Each system is specifically engineered for its application. All AEM Short Ram Air Intake Systems deliver maximum performance gains through lightweight, all-aluminum, mandrel-bent tubing that is tuned in both length and diameter. The aluminum will not crack in extended use like plastic. The tube length and diameter are matched for each specific engine to give power over a broad RPM range. Unlike plastic systems that use a continually diverging cross-section, we take advantage of the acoustical energy in the inlet duct to promote cylinder filling during the intake valve-opening event. Every intake is coated with a high-gloss, heat-reducing Zirconia based powder coating. This special blend of powder coating helps reduce heat penetration, which in turn reduces the temperature of the inlet air charge.
