Talking Seafoamed my Cobalt, figured I'd share the vid. lol

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

Oh, I took it out and ran it good. lol. I dont really beat on my car though. I definitely drive spirited, after all, its an SS, not an LS.

So, if I tell the dealer that I seafoamed it, I won't get screwed...right??

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.

No, you don't. I don't add it to my oil or gas tank-if I added it to my oil, I would. Never have I ever.

DEFINITELY possible... they did run into an unforeseen issue when installing my new resonator. They said the one they ordered was the wrong size and needed to use a stretcher to get it to fit. I laughed and asked them to show me, they wouldn't. \

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 .
