Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
I ended up making this hanger today to help hold the pipe up, the pipe sits on the flat part and the U bolt just keeps it from sliding around, I have to change a little of the heat shield sheet metal before it will fit.
I was having a problem with the system not lining up, it seems the problem was, when i made the system, one of the bends was off just a little,it fits fine under the car, but the bend was right where the rear hanger was, I thought I had moved the hanger out far enough, but apparently it was pulling the piping too far to one side, and causing the entire system to pivot off center.
this was the hanger bracket before
this was my solution, it moved the piping 1 inch towards the center of the car, and now everything lines up.
this one needs to be moved over slightly
this is the hanger bracket for the tips

What up man, I haven't been in here much at all either due to being so busy!
To answer your question, it depends. I have heard it works great on newer vehicles. I used to use it on my ranger 3.0, but I didn't see too much of an improvement except under gas mileage, granted it only had 55k on it. It now has a loud ticking sound, still couldn't figure it out even after it was at the dealer, so I am not sure why that happened..seafoam maybe? not sure..
My parents own a 01 exp with 126k on it, and my dad don't put any of that '****' in his cars and they seem to always run perfect. Now I own a 97 accord with only 70k and I was advised against it due to the seals back then weren't made for the heavy chemicals we make today.. Iv been told it does more damage then good on old er cars..
On another note, I am hopefully going to pick up fogs and rear tow hook today

Thank mang! anyone else use seafoam before... my car is 90' LS with a b20 with around 120k-150k that's a guess becasue when i bought the car the owner told me the engine had about 85k which I doubt as it a 97/98' model low comp and i have had my baby for 2 years now

Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
same here I used it on a d15b and it started knocking bad, that was the last time I used that. I wouldn't use it especially if ur engine is high mileage.

strange on the seafoam, I know a lot of people who have used it on third generations and it always worked great, just make sure to follow the directions, I know in the early 90's the honda dealer used to sell it
