Not sure if they are related, but I don't remember hitting that temp so fast.

right ! it must have something to do with the exhaust.
i had a friend here to check this. he is a former mechanic of zakspeed formula one team. i guy who knows a lot about engines.
he told me, of course the diameter and the design of exhaust systems causing higher temp and of course a different power output - which is not always higher. a wrong system - design can make your car less powerful.
i am really disappointed and thinking to change the exhaust for a different one or go back to oem.
