That's normal, and letting the car stand for 4 - 7 min is a long time unless you have been driving it hard. Also it's good if you have the chance to drive around a parking lot slowly to let the car cool down before you park. The downpipe is necessary because the pre-cat is known to clog and raise engine temps.
