Yes, rear fascia trimming is required to install the EcoHitch part # 306-X7261 on your 2014 Subaru WRX Hatchback. The rear fascia has to be cut so that the shank of the hitch will fit. I attached a picture that shows where you'd need to trim the rear fascia.

I reached out to EcoHitch to see if they had any fitment notes on your 2012 Subaru Impreza WRX with the Invidia R400 Gemini Exhaust. They were not able to confirm or deny that their Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver #306-X7261 will fit with that…

As long as your 2011 Subaru WRX hatchback isn't a STI model we have the EcoHitch part #306-X7261 that fits with the quad exhaust which is a hidden hitch with a 2 inch opening or we have the Curt part #C11120 which is a 1-1/4 inch hitch.

For the 2012 Impreza Hatchback, the correct hitch would be the Curt #C11286. For WRX or WRX STi Hatchback models, the correct hitch would be #C11120. The #11317 you mention is a fit for the WRX Sedan model only. Of all the hitch manufacturers we deal…

Answer 11

Curt trailer hitch #C11120 is only listed as a fit for 2011 Impreza hatchbacks with quad exhaust and 2012 to 2014 WRX/WRX STi hatchback models with quad exhaust. It hasn't been tested or confirmed to fit a base model. I wouldn't say it is…
