Carbon canister.

I second that, carbon cannister... Take it out, remove/cap all tubes and sell it to some ricer on Ebay as a "JDM emissions control device" or something like that.

I got in a little fender bender the other day, and it was pretty interesting to see all these little sand/pebble/grains of black charcoaly looking stuff crumble out of the canister.

So yes, that would be your charcoal canister.
