Used properly, it does most of what it claims and is a good product to that end.

Seafoam - good stuff. I've used it for years. I had one truck blow white carbon smoke so bad after one direct injection dose I couldn't see the house 20 feet away....so now I use that stuff at night when the neighbors can't see.

I'm still waiting for them to call the fire department on me sometime.

Yeah, Seafoam is some good stuff.

Yer buddy Dave is a strange some-bitch, yet funny at the same time, lol.

What's your exhaust setup on your truck?

Yeah, speaking of Dave I walked in on him nailing his girlfriend yesterday, creeeepy.. I got from the manifold(stock) 2.25" pipe, about three foot of pipe into a Dynomax Super Turbo Muffler, then to 2.50" piping out the side into a 4" tip thats about a foot long.. Sounds ok I guess.. Kinda ricish, but not that bad.. I really didn't gain much performance, except a little over three grand it definatly opened up some power, my milage is a little better too, but I think thats because I have a muffler now, it used to just be a chunk of 4' long pipe welded to the manifold and that was it.. sounded cool hehe.. got annoying though.

I'd have probably gone the other way- 2.5 to the muff then 2.25 out the side, if I really had to... as the exhaust cools, density increases and it doesn't flow as fast so doesn't need as large pipe....
... but 2.25 is about the biggest you should use on a NA 2.4L engine, but that's my preference.

after drowning the trail rig last weekend i put the new plugs and oil and stuff in and gave her my favorite seafoam treament..Half through the brake booster and the rest in the gas... so i have a space between the manifold and y pipe and the y pipe and the muffler...the trail rig with 230 km original never abused or offroad besides the say the last 100 km starts pouring out so much seafoam smoke that my whole cresent looked like a greatful dead show.. couldnt see anything and my mom comes out asking me if i finally killed it!!!

seafoam IS ALMOST AS GOOD A PRODUCT AS THRUST!
if you think p.blaster works good obviously you have never used thrust!

My reasoning by putting 2.5 after the muffler is simple, the bigger the pipe, the deeper the sound, also most backpressure usage is between the muffler and engine, so I didn't lose any horsepower really.. I normally shift in higher rpms so it dont matter.
