Fuel system/Injector cleaner does it work?

I just recently bought a 99 z28 and i did an oil change serviced the transmission and replaced the bulbs in the headlight and taillight that was out and i decided to get a bottle of "Gumout" fuel system/injector cleaner and i ran my tank to almost empty and then filled it up and im going on a roadtrip today to pick up my headers and ORY pipe, and just wanted to get an idea on what you guys thought of the stuff and if it actually works or not.

Seafoam works better. I have used many injector/decarb cleaners and seaform worked the best.

Make sure to check the blinker fluid as well.

Did you service your flux capacitor?

just so you know if you paint them red or yellow it actully makes them stop 10x worse

the only color that make you stop better is black

I've used fuel injector cleaner in all my vehicles every 6 months and I have never had a clogged fuel injector. If you have a lot of miles and you never used it, you might need to use SeaFoam since it's stronger.

I heard that if you swap your muffler bearing you get better mpgs. Plus it gives you the sound that all those Hondas have, you know that real throaty deep manly sound... lol.

Muffler bearings are overrated, plus you have to grease them all the time.
