Default intake cleaning ???

i have a 1988 gt i and wanted to clean the inside of the intake so i went and bought some seafoam and run it through the line coming off of the brake booster. everything was going good until i noticed some smoke and smelled a burning smell. it was coming from underneath the car, so i looked and it was coming from only the second converter on the right side. i still have the stock h-pipe. i was wondering if there is anything that i should be worried about or is this a normal thing. thanks.

Sounds like you have and exhaust leak....seafoam is good at finding those. You will be alright.

now was the smoke actually coming from an exhaust leak or was the converter itsself smoking? if u get too much fuel/cleaners or what have u down the exhaust it can actually cause a fire in the converter and get it red hot. that could possibly damage the converter. 5.0 stanger could be right, im just throwing out another possibility
