Walker Exhaust

When it comes to quality exhaust system components, there's probably no other name in the industry that is as popular and often-heard as Walker. It is the world's largest manufacturer of OE and aftermarket exhaust systems and emissions control products. The company is also an OE supplier to many major vehicle manufacturers. Walker has the technical perfection needed to meet today's requirements while providing solutions for tomorrow's challenges.

The brand's history traces back to the year 1908, when William A. Walker and his sons, Williard and Warren, started a 'Walker Operation'. In 1912, they began manufacturing ‘tire savers’, which took the weight off the tires when cars were stored for the winter. In 1916, a new production facility was built in Wisconsin, and the name 'Walker Manufacturing Company' was officially introduced. Later on, Walker became one of the leading jack manufacturers.

In 1932, the company patented its first but not last innovative product, the louvered tube that transformed the mufflers of the day, which were little more than tin cans. Thanks to the louvered tube muffler, Walker was first recognized as the industry leader. The company continued its line of innovations and created the first stainless steel muffler in 1941. With a growing number of vehicles on the road, the need for limiting pollutants arose, and in 1978, after years of researching and designing the forerunners of today's emissions control devices, Walker developed the first aftermarket catalytic converter.

It was Walker that revolutionized the industry by establishing new standards for durability. It was the first aftermarket manufacturer to offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty for the professional installer. Today, the company continues designing and manufacturing new products that become synonymous with quality, longevity, and innovation. All Walker exhaust parts, from premium Quiet-Flow mufflers to CalCat converters, are designed with a great attention to detail to meet all customer demands. You can also go with Walker performance exhaust parts if you want to get the ultimate in sound and function.
