I put some seafoam in my 06 SS/SC and below is the result.
YouTube - 2006 Cobalt SS/SC being Seafoamed
Now, I had a 95 Riviera N/A with well over a hundred thousand miles on it. I seafoamed that car and it was nowhere NOWHERE as bad as this was. I took immaculate care of that car but still, I mean, it BARELY smoked. The Cobalt only has 40,000mi on it
I got it with 32,000.
Here was my Riv.

God. I miss her.
Also, after doing this, we noticed some smoke from the seafoam coming from under the hood. Guess I have an exhaust leak. Either a bad gasket, or a cracked manifold. My money is on the manifold. Damn. Going to the dealer to get it looked at next Friday.
Am I allowed to tell them I seafoamed my car and that's how I noticed the leak?
They won't bitch will they?

How do you figure its voided? I have a 12 month 11,000 mile whoopee warranty on a GM certified used car.
I used the vacuum like in this how-to

How would I prove to them that there is an exhaust leak then? I scheduled an appointment and said that it was smoking. They're gonna look at me and think I'm an idiot.

Something ELSE happened. It doesn't take 10 days (BUSINESS DAYS) to replace a resonator...
My SS/SC smoked a lot worse than that with only 20K miles on it . How much seafoam did you use and did you let it sit for 10-15 minutes after ? I used almost half a bottle threw the small vac line that hooks to the manifold. Mine smoked for at least 5 miles .
