Tenneco to expand coverage in exhaust category

Tenneco Inc. says it plans to add approximately 400 new parts to its Walker product line in 2012, with significant emphasis on late-model foreign nameplate applications.

The company says it is continuing its investment in new mufflers, converters, and pipe lines to help service providers capture new repair opportunities on virtually all popular domestic and foreign nameplate models.

Among the products to be introduced through the company’s continuous launch process in 2012 are premium Walker Quiet-Flow SS stainless steel mufflers, Walker Ultra and CalCat catalytic converters, DynoMax and Thrush performance exhaust systems/mufflers, and related components. The company also has introduced the Walker Ultra EX converter featuring an extra-high-load catalyst technology for vehicles with very sensitive OBD II calibration.

The Walker CalCat line of catalytic converters, engineered to meet California Air Resources Board requirements, is also growing, with more new direct-fit and universal designs planned for 2012. They’re available for sale in all 50 states and Canada.
