Default hitch and slp exhaust. Fit?

I bought a hitch and will be installing it this week and I also have an SLP loudmouth exhaust. Looking at the back, I don't see the room for the hitch to go.

Anyone know whether it squeezes in? If not, I don't want to waste my time trying to make it fit.

We don't know what the end pipes look like on an SLP exhaust, and we don't know how big the mufflers are. So you're going to have to do a little work yourself.

Jack the car up at the rear both sides. Use jack stands. Slide under the car from the rear with the hitch on your chest. Lift the hitch up into position on the car, and see whether it fits. If it does, then proceed to install the hitch. If not, then don't install it.

Duh!

Wow, great insight. Thanks for stating the obvious. I am asking if anyone has this done already. The SLP tips sit quite close together so I would have to take them off to see if the fitment will work.

Duh!
