Monroe, Mich., May 3, 2012 –DynoMax^®Performance Exhaust has released a new series of Race Bullet mufflers in a smaller, more compact design, ideal for any type of professional or amateur off-road or circle track racing vehicle.

The new Race Mini Bullet series from DynoMax offers racers a variety of lightweight, compact configurations of the popular muffler. The new Mini Bullets are available now at performance retailers nationwide.

“The original DynoMax Race Bullet line has always been a popular choice among race teams in a variety of circuits,” said Chris Gauss, national sales manager, performance products, Tenneco. “We’re certain the new Race Mini Bullet muffler series will be just as popular, particularly on race vehicles where weight and space are concerned.”
