Tenneco will be introducing nearly 300 additional Walker replacement exhaust assemblies, premium and standard mufflers and direct-fit catalytic converters. The Walker brand is a "one-stop" source of replacement exhaust and emission control products for domestic and import passenger vehicles.

In 2006, Tenneco will introduce 100 additional Walker Quiet-Flow 3 welded muffler and resonator assemblies, 75 new Walker SoundFX muffler designs and more than 100 Walker direct-fit catalytic converters for popular late-model applications. With the new part numbers, Walker will offer coverage of more than 92 percent of domestic and import vehicle registrations in the U.S. and Canada.

"Our continued investment in new coverage reflects Tenneco’s commitment to the long-term growth of distributors and service providers within the exhaust category," said Frank Murkowski, emission control marketing manager, Tenneco. "Aftermarket professionals rely on Walker for exceptional coverage, great cataloging and products that provide the OE-style fit and performance demanded by consumers. We’re building on these strengths to ensure that shops capture every new exhaust service opportunity."

Walker Quiet-Flow3 exhaust assemblies and mufflers combine sophisticated internal routing and tuning technologies to ensure exceptional flow characteristics and a quiet, OE-style sound. Each Quiet-Flow3 product is manufactured from all-aluminized steel, including the inner shell, which features CF coating technology to enhance overall durability. In addition, each Quiet-Flow3 unit features a carefully engineered cross-section and meticulous pipe routing to eliminate installation surprises.

Walker SoundFX mufflers are available for most popular domestic and import applications. Each SoundFX muffler is manufactured using all-aluminized materials and provides favorable sound quality. Walker direct-fit catalytic converters provide an OE-style fit for trouble-free installation. Each unit features a high-quality stainless steel body, OE-style flanges, heat-shielded pipe and structural brace for enhanced strength and durability.
