A third line, called the Stealth, is an economy line of additional styles that service the everyday consumer looking for an inexpensive replacement product.
Aero Exhaust was formed in 1999 in order to develop an idea for a new type of vehicle exhaust. The company has evolved from a research and development company to a global manufacturing and distribution organization with the most technologically advanced muffler in the world today. In January 2006, Aero Exhaust entered into an exclusive agreement with NASCAR for its high performance muffler line to join the NASCAR Performance licensing program. The company was also successful in gaining the support of NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace.
"Our NASCAR and Rusty Wallace associations are an integral part of our company and will bring a tremendous value to the FCCN organization," stated Bryan Hunsaker, CEO of Aero Exhaust.
In addition to its NASCAR relationship, Aero Exhaust has been issued patents in both the United States and Australia on its innovations and product developments in the exhaust industry and has a number of patents pending.

"Not only has Aero developed technologically innovative products, superior to its competition, but there is a highly effective management team in place, its products are already available worldwide through a number of retail outlets, and the company is well-positioned for significant long-term growth."
"With access to additional resources, we believe that Aero Exhaust is the type of company that will provide a solid return on investment (ROI) for Franchise Capital's shareholders. We are pleased to have signed this letter of intent, and we expect to reach a definitive agreement in the very near future, so we can move forward with this acquisition," added Mr. Peacock.
