Hi Donna,
A center mounted exhaust is going to most likely prevent you from installing a hitch on your Kia Soul. If you can provide me with the year of your Kia Soul I'd be happy to check if there is a compatible option out there, otherwise you'd have to rework the exhaust or haul your accessories using a roof rack. view full answer...
For your 2017 Kia Soul we will begin with the receiver. I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7326. This receiver give you a 2" receiver which will give you a better selection on bike racks to choose from. I have linked an installation video below for you to reference as we had a 2017 Soul in our shop to demonstrate this installation. We also have a link on our product page just below our pictures that will help you locate a shop where you can have the hitch installed.... view full answer...
