not really, most likely snake's oil.

I've used it in the past on other cars. Didn't feel much nor saw any MPG increase. I did it for about a full year every other fill up. Used a GOOD strong brand BG44k and nah da.

Now if i happen to walk pass a FREE after rebate thing, i'll do it.

Use seafoam if you're looking for a clean out.

I use Redline Si-1 , its one of the only good ones. BG44k has been dumbed down I believe since it first came out. Amsoil, 3m are other good ones but you cant get them locolly.

Pepboys sells Redline Si-1

If the injectors are dirty then sure you might see something, if they are clean nothing is really going to happen. Redline Si-1 has lube and solvents to lube the fuel pump and clean the injectors. But I have used it twice now and I haven't really felt any differences. It cant hurt to try it.

if your injectors are clogged/dirty you have WAY more serious issues and fuel injector is not going to help much at all. You need them pulled out and put on a flow bench. At the rates that our injector flows at, if you had a remote clogged injector you should be misfiring up the butt. it can hurt to try, your pocket since most are in the $10 range, thats 2-3 gallons of gas.

i'll give it another shot down the road pending sales, i like redline and used their D4 ATF but i never see their Si on sale.

possibly.
would have to see the bottom end of it to get a good idea though.
also it might be too wide at the bottom.
what size is it exactly?

Edit:
Or if that one doesn't work out you could always order from this website I bought from before when I had this issue
http://autolumination.com/74.htm
Just make sure to order neo wedge type B 10mm diameter.

I would try the SMT 2
probably brighter than the regular LED they offered as their brightest a year ago
