Question

Question:

I have a 2008 Ford Mustang GT with aftermarket Flowmaster exhaust. My concern is with aftermarket mufflers the hitch will not fit. Looking to use the hitch to carry one or two bikes.

While the Curt part # C11312 has not been tested to fit your 2008 Ford Mustang with aftermarket exhaust like what you have there is a chance it could still fit. If your aftermarket exhaust retains the factory dimensions and routing (or close to it) then it could work.

I did a little research online and was able to determine that most people were able to install this hitch with aftermarket exhaust.

The most popular 2 bike hitch mounted bike rack we sell with other owners of 2008 Ford Mustangs is the Swagman XTC-2 Bike rack part # S64670. This a great rack that actually my Dad uses on the back of his Mustang with the same hitch you are looking at and he really likes it. His car is actually the blue car in the install video for the hitch I attached.
