I'm having this same issue about the smoking. After the tune did it stop ? After I put my exhaust on my G it would smoke like that and I could smell fuel/oil being burnt.

Check for any vacuum leaks. If the exhaust is new, it's normal to have a burning smell during the beak in period. Did you have symptoms prior to the exhaust change?

I used seafoam on my old rsx when it had 100k miles. Got only a little grey smoke coming out of the exhaust. I take that as a sign that I had kept good care of the car. I would never expect to notice a "big" difference after seafoam.... But I know alot of people who stand by it as a maintenance thing to do if you've got a lot of miles on your car.

Someone said to get an oil change afterwards, I didnt know that so good info.

depends if those miles included regular oil changes or not. If you take care of your car it wont make a noticeable difference but at the same time cant hurt to do it.
