That is water, and it is normal condensation. Any dust you saw was kicked up off the ground when you revved your cold motor. (which is also not the best idea)

I see it, and I have no idea. Guys if you look to the very left of the video in the dark spot, you can see the dust/smoke hes talking about.

That really just looks like the camera compensating for the change in focus/lighting from the water spray.

Are you sure it's actually blowing dust around or just what you've seen from video?

well we'll know when he post back if he sees it in person or not. Casue I have no idea what would do that, unless he has a hole in the side of his pipe before the cat or something.
