EVAP connect or delete on new Rough Country CAI

[Motorhead X]

The MJ is running and sounding better than ever with my new Rough Country CAI, but now my EVAP line is venting gas fumes into my engine bay because the CAI did not come with a connection for the EVAP system. I want to avoid gas fumes altogether when it goes in the garage. Should I add a custom connection to the air intake tube or disconnect the EVAP system entirely (if so, how is that done). No inspection here in NC. Thanks everyone.

The evap system is to help deal with fuel vapors. From my understanding, you cannot delete it because it is a vent for the fuel tank. If I were you, I'd get rid of the Rough Country CAI (that is likely actually a hot air intake unless there is an air box around the air filter) and go back to a stock air intake. In lieu of that, adding a custom connection will probably be your best bet.
