Geebake you should be able to get seafoam at advance auto parts, auto zone, carquest. If you can't find it let me know and I'll get you some.
If you go with straight pipes be prepared to rejet the carbs.
Also a good chance your carb cleaner ate the orings inside the mixture screws. I'd pull and colortune.
