Rawtek Exhaust (2024)

FAQs

What is the difference between Rawtek Eco and performance? ›

What's the difference between the ECO Kit and the Max Performance Kit? ECO Kit is the basic Delete Kit and retains the existing (factory) muffler, while the Max Performance is from the turbo back with the full catback and tip (dual on golf, Jetta, Sportwagen and Beetle and single on Passat).

A performance exhaust system facilitates better airflow, enabling the engine to draw in more air with each cycle. This increased air intake leads to a notable boost in engine power. Depending on the model of vehicle most exhaust upgrades alone can see significant increase in power and torque.

Changing the sizes of the pipes in your vehicle's exhaust system can have these benefits: Increased performance. You'll experience better horsepower and torque with pipes that allow increased airflow. Improved appearance.

The excessive exhaust coming from your car is an indication of a mechanical problem that needs professional attention. Don't ignore excessive exhaust smoke coming from your car. Two of the most common causes are oil leaks or coolant leaking into the combustion chamber.

While it's on, the engine reduces its power output, so it doesn't work as hard, and the gas pedals become less responsive. The reduction in power leads the car to accelerate more slowly. Benefits of eco mode include using less gas and creating fewer emissions.

It's two owners, Rick & Nick, along with the rest of the Rawtek team have been working diligently to build a reputation for outstanding quality and customer service. In 2011 the team focused their efforts on the development of premium quality performance products specifically for the VW TDI market.

A properly designed aftermarket exhaust will not damage your engine. It will actually allow it to perform better by removing the restrictions in the original system. On the other hand, poorly designed exhausts made from inferior materials can result in worse performance and an unpleasant drone.

High-flow catalytic converters have large holes in the catalyst chamber that allow more exhaust gases to pass through. This reduces the backpressure and allows the engine to perform better. So, these are some of the exhaust systems that can give you an increase in horsepower.

2.5 inches: This is a popular size for many car exhausts and is often used on cars with larger engines. It can provide moderate performance gains and a more aggressive sound.

What size exhaust is best for power? ›

The quick and easy way to choose what diameter pipe you will need from the headers to the mufflers is to go back to the old rule of thumb, that for every 100 horsepower = 1” of total pipe diameter is needed across the system. For example, a 500 horsepower engine needs a 2.5″ dual exhaust (2.5″ x 2 = 5″).

If a vehicle is over the noise limit the owner may be sent a fine, much like they would from speeding. These noise cameras are currently undergoing trials – if they prove successful, expect them to become more widespread.

Black exhaust is a typically an indication of excessively burning fuel. This is often caused by an issue with your fuel injectors. If the injectors are clogged, it's likely that the amount of air is insufficient for the combustion of fuel.

If the smoke from the exhaust pipe is either grey or bluish-tinged, it generally means that your engine is burning oil inside the combustion chamber. Burning oil could be due to a number of causes, from leaky valve seals to bad piston rings.

Eco mode is not a magic button that will instantly save fuel. Its true value rests in its ability to encourage frugal driving behavior that can make a difference. We have seen in other tests that driving smoothly can make a 2- to 3-mpg improvement around town, compared with an erratic driving style.

Eco mode - ensures the car is in its most fuel efficient configuration. Comfort mode - makes the car as comfortable as possible. Sport mode - puts the car in a more aggressive setting, usually enhancing throttle response, whilst in some cars can alter suspension, gearbox and exhaust too.

It's hard to say whether Eco mode saves significant amounts of fuel, but eco mode is ideal for city driving because it reduces your vehicle's acceleration and throttle response. Keeping Eco mode on all the time isn't bad for your vehicle, but it will make your vehicle feel sluggish and unresponsive on busier roads.

Whether it's a combustion gas vehicle or an EV, driving costs money. Combustion gas vehicles consume gas, whereas EVs consume electricity. With eco mode, you can conserve your EV's energy. Your EV will consume less electricity while in eco mode.
