Super Six Exhaust

I have an after market Dorman exhaust manifold and am running a 180 thermostat. The temp at idle is about 200 - 205 degrees

at idle, jeez. What are you using to measure temperature? Electric, mechanical? also for actual exhaust if you want to upgrade anyway, I see most people going 2 - 2 1/2". 2 1/2" with a regular muffler will still be very quiet. I run a glasspack and you still can't hear the slant. It just lets me know the engine is on. lol.
