180F Thermostat and Thermal intake gasket worth it?

however this could mean the previous thermostat was also a 180 ?
what does everyone else's car run for coolant temps?

However, during long highway cruises at constant speed, the coolant temp fluctuates from 182-197. It has gone as low as 178 for brief periods.
takes like 30 mins if you go slow to change it
thermostat is on the top of the engine so relatively easy to get too
Benz says the coolant is a life-time thing right? I've got 73,000KM and the car is an 09, I wouldn't mind changing it though

drove it yesterday after getting a bit of air out of the system and it ran a little cooler fluctuaing from 86 to 90
no headers yet fairly stock p31 just a 3" cat back no resonators or 2ndaries



Anyone interested in ordering an extra one and throwing it in the mail to me? I will cover postage both ways.
