Make new mounts for the charcoal canister and extend the factory lines? That's probably you're best bet.

You could also maybe cut the "hump" off the melted one and epoxy some flat plastic to seal it and T both lines into the center inlet. Not sure how that would effect emissions or the sensors if any at all.

Back when I used to build custom trucks we used to just dump the charcoal canisters all together. But that was on older vehicles...

i think this would be the cleanest way to do it. just need to go to the body shop and figure out where i can put it now.

i had already started to cut the inlet off and epoxy / RTV seal some flat plastic, but it wasn't coming out as nice as i wanted it to. plus, i hadn't thought of your point about the sensors, etc. if it's acting as part of the pressure vessel the sensor's calibrated against, i've no idea if it will trip CEL lights all day long.

i guess at this stage, i'm going to lose the car again for at least a week or two while we figure things out.

Aww man, sorry about that. Just think of it as adding character, although there are probably more desirable ways to do so.
