Today we have more direct fit European and Japanese coverage than any competitor.

4. We have more direct fit coverage than anybody.
DEC utilizes a 45,000 square foot facility located in Van Nuys, CA shared with our corporate offices.
This is where we manufacture more than 3,300 different direct fit catalytic converter SKUs with fitment for over 51,000 import and domestic applications.
We have more direct fit coverage than anybody.

5. Stricter emissions requirements and the increasing trend of manifold converters, often made of cast iron, means installation of universal converters in the field is becoming nearly impossible.
Repair shops are looking for quick solutions and direct fit catalytic converters provide just that.

6. Imagine an installer attempting to weld a universal into any of these assemblies.

7. As automotive OBD-II requirements became more stringent, DEC kept up with the demand by using Vehicle Specific Loading for each individual application. This ensures that each converter sold will meet the needs of the specific vehicle it is being installed on, something not possible with universal converters.

8. DEC’s direct fit converter HY1730A – built complete, flange-to-flange.
When we say “direct fit” we mean it. These two examples are for the same application and are both called Direct Fit, but only one truly is.
Competitor’s “direct fit” converter – additional parts required or re-use of old piping necessary.
DEC’s direct fit converter HY1730A – built complete, flange-to-flange.
Unlike our competitors, DEC builds just like OEM with all flanges, resonators and mounting brackets.

9. Lack of this coverage results in lost sales.
To determine true industry demand, we use our top 300 SKUs as a tool to compare our coverage to that of the competition.
Of our top 300 parts, Walker can only provide 211. That’s a 30% gap fill DEC can supply in just fast moving applications alone!
Lack of this coverage results in lost sales.
DEC can help you recapture this lost revenue IMMEDIATELY.

10. Our understanding of Walker’s pricing in the industry is Jobber less 33 & 8%. (of course we don’t know your actual cost).
Based on this as a guideline, among those same top 300 SKUs, of the 211 Walker can provide DEC is lower in price at our base “WD” price level on over 67% (or 142 SKUs).

11. DEC also offers further discounts.

20. DEC is currently the primary supplier of catalytic converters to Worldpac and has been for some 15 years.
Other large distributors like Autopart International have also taken in DEC products in a large way. In fact, we are their sole supplier in the New York marketplace since NY has recently adopted California’s strictest C.A.R.B. regulations.
