Hello Dylon. Unfortunately, none of the hitches we carry for the 2017 Honda Civic will fit the center exhaust models. The exhaust sits literally right where the hitch would need to be located. Even if a hitch was designed to fit under the exhaust, this would be less than ideal because your bike rack and bikes would be directly behind the exhaust which for obvious reasons would not be good.
The best way to carry bikes on your civic is to add a roof rack with crossbars and use a roof-mounted roof rack. The Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack # RRRBC050 is a very popular roof mounted option. The complete roof rack system for your Civic Coupe consists of the following parts:
- Yakima CoreBar Crossbars # Y00421
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06182
