The conversation at the gate went something like this:

me: *hand her $25*
her: hands me back $5
me: is it not 10 to watch and 15 to run? (I had my gf with me)
her: yea it is, are you going to run?
me: yea...
her: oh, what are you running?
me: my truck... (like her little ticket booth isnt shaking from the exhaust note)
her: oh, what kind of tires are on it?
me: drag radials
her: well, ok then *looks at me like im crazy*
and im thinking, **** lady my truck is faster than most of the trailed cars here

A guy that was behind me actually came up and looked because he could hear it idleing and knew it had something bigger in there.

One of the staff said I could run it as long as it doesnt fall off (its ubolted to the rack frame).

The girl sitting in front of the camera at 20 seconds was just as surprised as the guy in the Mustang. Except, he wasnt smiling like that. Nice video.

Thinking about redoing my exhaust after the cutout to 3" to try and limit the boost...

Basically use the cutout as a boost controller
