Looks like a nice warm RV ... Don't get out! ... says this Florida native! 
4 day journey arrived in Michigan looking forward to meeting Rich tomorrow morning and getting that heavy bulky exhaust removed and hearing the X Pipe allowing this magnificent car breath

We installed Rich's X-pipe a few years ago. Very happy with the sound!
A trip well worth taking words can’t describe, my06 Tungsten is very special to me and I know it’s in the best of hands here can’t wait to return to sunny and warm California and let the neighborhood hear what a GT is supposed to sound like. and knowing that a complete service and inspection has been done by the best I’ll drive with confidence.

How long are you there? I talked to Rich Friday about bringing mine to him but decided that I would wait until late spring or early summer. I’ve got a laundry list of things that I know he needs to look at including a thousand rock chips and a Macintosh stereo that won’t play out of the driver’s side speakers much. I’m sure there are lots of other things but I couldn’t give up the car so soon! My 19yr old and I took it for a 100 mile drive today, such a smile every time and everyone looses their mind at 4 way stops…I pretty much just go every time now as everyone seems to want to hear it run through the intersection.

I’m likely preaching to the choir here but make sure you spend half a day at the Ford Museum. So much cool stuff there!

Also see the Rouge River F150 assembly plant. The multimedia presentation there is the best I have seen/heard/felt.

I had forgotten how ugly the stock muffler is.
Pipe looks great!
Rich installed Ford Performance Racing Headers for me, and I daresay it's probably a bit louder.
But we gotta enjoy those V-8 sounds while we can!
Envy your ability to enjoy those sounds in CA when you get back. Still have to wait for Spring here. Still start it up and listen every once in a while. In fact, I think I'll go and do that now.
