Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2003 Pontiac Vibe is Touching Muffler
Question:
I recently purchased a Curt hitch from you for my Pontiac Vibe. I left very good reviews because it did install very easily. I did not read all the reviews but Im going to have to make some modifications because the muffler is vibrating against the hitch. Any suggestions?

Expert Reply:
Modifications cannot be made to Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12234 without potentially impacting its durability and safety (and less importantly its warranty), but there are suggestions in regards to the issue you are having with it hitting the muffler on your 2003 Pontiac Vibe.
This could be due to the exhaust pipe or the hanger hitting the hitch, and that looks like that may be the case for you. What I recommend is reading the help article I have linked for you entitled "How to Correct Noise from Exhaust Rattling Against a Trailer Hitch" that is going to have a number of ways to combat the issue.
