I did a spray Sea Foam treatment to my 2010 with 55k miles as PM. No vacuum lines to mess with. I threw a video together to show how easy this method is. Hope it helps someone...

After watching the video and all that smoke. I am curious if your catalytic converter will prematurely fail due to being clogged. I am afraid to try this.

Your concern is a valid one that I had as well before using it on my Yaris. However I had used this procedure on a few other cars with no long or short term ill effects on the cat. I did speak to one of the mechanics at the local dealer and he told me they have in fact used the stuff at the dealer at times. He also said don't use to much of it and don't don't do it to often. I guess that means follow the directions on the can. But, if I do have issues, I wll not keep it secret. I have put 6000 miles on the car since and have not thrown a code as of yet. I hope I didn't just jinx myself by saying that..LOL. Like I stated in the video, I almost wonder if the smoke is actually the product itself burning off....
