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.

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.
