Tips for Installing Hitch that has Exhaust Interference
Question:
The 13064 trailer hitch wont fit on the the frame of my 1998 Nissan frontier pick up. The alignment is OK but the tailpipe is directly in the way of the hitch mount to the frame. There doesnt seem to be enough play in the pipe if I try to move it our of the way.

For your 1998 Nissan Frontier the Curt hitch part # C13064 is a confirmed fit but for some vehicles with a few miles on them that may have had aftermarket exhaust installed or had the factory exhaust bent or modified there can need to be some modifications done to get the hitch to fit without exhaust interference.
I have included a link to a help article that covers the different methods you could employ. If all else fails then a muffler shop would be able to take care of the issue pretty easily since they have the tools and the know-how to work on exhaust systems.
