MONROE, MICHIGAN, MAY 2, 2005 - Consumers who enhance the sound and performance of their vehicles' exhaust system with a Walker® Quiet-Flow® muffler or welded exhaust assembly in May will be eligible to receive a $40 cash rebate through the Walker® "Muffler Mania" promotion from Tenneco Automotive (NYSE: TEN).

Running May 1 through May 31, 2005, Walker Muffler Mania will help consumers afford important exhaust repairs before the summer driving season. The owners of domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles can take advantage of the $40 cash rebate by purchasing a premium Walker® Quiet-Flow®3 muffler or exhaust assembly from any participating dealer during the program period. Walker products are sold by leading North American parts stores and vehicle service providers.

"Most exhaust promotions benefit the installer more than the consumer, but Muffler Mania is clearly different," said Richard Alameddine, vice president of marketing, North American Aftermarket, for Tenneco Automotive. "This promotion enables consumers to achieve the sound and flow characteristics specified by the vehicle manufacturer while putting cash back into their pockets. Plus, they can be confident they're getting one of the best exhaust products available anywhere."

Each Walker® Quiet-Flow® muffler and exhaust assembly features the brand's exclusive "Sound Technology" advantage, which matches premium exhaust designs and ultra-durable materials to ensure exceptional reliability and OE-equivalent sound and flow. Exhaust flow can play a key role in determining overall engine performance and fuel efficiency.
