Odd question regarding warming car up

I just installed the Ultimate Racing CB exhaust and it seems like all of a sudden the car warms up faster. I usually wait for 1 blue bar to appear on the temp gauge before driving. Is it my imagination that its warning up faster? And it's actually been cooler here. In the 70's when the last few months have gotten into the 90's. Just more out of curiosity question.

Thanks.

C_____e is a hell of a drug....makes everything warm up faster. x.x Just you imagination. But on the warming up note, its crazy how much faster my Evo X warms up compared to the Golf TDi I had before it. I swear I could drive 5 miles before it would start to show.

I figured that much. Maybe it's me listening to the new sound and not paying as much attention to the temp gauge that is making it seem like its warming up faster. It's such a great sounding exhaust. It's a whole new car again. I'm even getting up earlier for work because I can't wait to start it. I also take the long way home from work. Lol aww if this feeling could only last forever.

Unless the weather got warmer coinciding with your exhaust installation, this seems like imagination haha.

I didn't used to let my car warm up before driving.

Now I'm on E85 and the car has to be warmed up a little.

And yea it's your imagination lol

Not really into smoking. Puts me to sleep. I'm in sales. I need stuff that makes me talk more.

But like I said. It's probably the new sound that took my mind off the temp gauge.
