New Exhaust higher oil pressure gauge????
 
Is it common when getting a new exhaust from stock that your oil gauge rises???

Before at 180 now after a while of driving sits around 220.....

Thoughts????

No that's not the case. Today was hotter than it has been all week (here in Atlanta). There's so many factors to oil getting hotter. Don't worry your fine.

Your question is Higher oil pressure gauge or higher oil temperture.?

An exhaust won't affect your temps like that, it's something else. You might have a bubble in your system or something.

My apologies for being a d!ck -- long day today. The exhaust should have no imapct on oil temperature.

You are probably just driving it harder to hear the sweet new exhaust note.
