"Safe & Sound Guarantee" Brings Added Value To Premium Walker® Exhaust Products

90-Day Money-Back Consumer Trial Offer Designed to Help Shops Increase Sales of Premium Exhaust Assemblies, Mufflers

Las Vegas, NV - Automotive service shops installing premium Walker® Quiet-Flow® 3 exhaust assemblies or mufflers can offer their customers benefits beyond the products' OE-style sound and increased durability. They also can guarantee consumer satisfaction through the exclusive "Safe & Sound Guarantee" 90-day money-back trial offer.

Walker® exhaust systems and components are manufactured and marketed by Tenneco (NYSE: TEN), one of the world's leading suppliers of original equipment and replacement emission control, ride control and noise, vibration and harshness control products.

Tenneco's "Safe & Sound Guarantee" enables consumers to return any premium Walker® Quiet-Flow3 product within 90 days for a refund of the full purchase price and a labor charge if they are not completely satisfied. The offer is the first of its kind available from a major exhaust products manufacturer. (Labor reimbursement limited to $50 per system.)

"Moving up to a premium replacement exhaust assembly or muffler makes sense for several reasons, but customers often need additional proof that they're making the right choice. The 'Safe & Sound Guarantee' is a great way to close the sale on premium Walker® components and demonstrate your commitment to earning the customer's trust," said Frank Murkowski, emission control marketing manager, Tenneco.

Premium 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 internal 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 guarantee a precise fit.

In addition to the "Safe & Sound Guarantee," each premium Walker® component is covered by a free limited lifetime warranty.
