    Use it at your own risk. I've thought about doing mine but there's a part of me that says don't do it. Maybe if I experimenting an issue ill try it.

    If your vehicle has lots of miles and has never been seafoamed or taken care of thoroughly, seafoam is a bad idea. You'll break loose so much crap inside that that you'll destroy your cats.

    Preventative maintenance is only useful from early on.

    People with low miles or people that seafoam often won't see much smoke because there's nothing in there to burn out.

    I have never used sea foam and don't know if my uncle or dad did when they had it. I don't have a cat on my truck. What do y'all recommend I do. To seafoam or not seafoam that is the question

    Well, with no cats, I don't think there's much to clog. Go for it, man!

    What do you guys think of removing your cat before sea foaming? I'm concerned of clogging my cat on my 03 s2000 that has 81,000 miles. I'm sure it will piss off my neighbors for a little while, but im sure they will get over it

    Go for it! While you're at it, pull the O2 sensors so you don't coat them with the nasty stuff.

    Doesn't really matter as long as you do it slowly. Maybe 1/3 can to start off with?
