Anyone Ever Use An EGR Cleaner?

That Goss's Garage on Motorweek had a program about cleaning the EGR with some huge contraption with chemicals. I just found this without looking very hard:

Anyone use anything similar?

Thing about that is, where is all that carbon build up going ?? Right into your motor, onto your valves and gumming up your pistons.

The only real way to clean your EGR valve and EGR pipes it to take it all part and attack it manually. I wouldnt trust anything to flush it out beacuse thats heavy heavy built up that will go right into your motor
