Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit a 2017 Ford Mustang V6 Fastback with Borla Cat back S-Type Exhaust

Question:

Hello, couple of days ago, I asked the below question and got the below response. Previous Question: What is the best part# to tow a uhaul 4foot x 8foot Cargo Trailer with my 2017 v6 mustang ? Answer: Curt trailer hitch # C11405 will be the easiest hitch to install on your 2017 Ford Mustang fastback. This is a Class I trailer hitch rated for 200 pounds tongue weight and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. The recommended ball mount for this hitch is # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 or for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for a trailer wiring harness you can use # 118487 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. In Additon, I have the below qustion. I have a borla S-Type Catback exhaust system running on my 2017 Mustang V6. Will you be able to tell me if the above recommendation holds good with this exhaust combination too? Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!

If the mufflers in your aftermarket exhaust are the same size as the stock ones on your 2017 Ford Mustang then there will be no problem installing Curt trailer hitch # C11405. If they are larger than stock it is possible there could be some interference but that could be fixed by slightly lowering the exhaust with alternate hangers. A muffler shop would be able to do that easily! And that is only if there is a problem. The brackets on the hitch mount above the mufflers so there is only a small chance there would be interference.
