Default Trailer hitch on a C5 with Corsa Pace exhaust??

Has anyone done it? If so, pics would be awesome showing the mounting. I just want to know what I'm getting into before ordering one. If you have done it, which model? and where do you run the wiring? Thanks guys.

I had put a hitch on my C5Z that has the Corsa exhaust. I took it off after I pulled a small trailer a couple of times. The car did fine, but the exhaust kept hitting the the hitch which drove me a little nuts. I do not know if it would be an issue for you or not. Of course now that I have the poly bushing on my car the exhaust hitting the hitch would fit right in with the rest of the noise.

It does take a little extra work lining things up, but it will clear the hitch. I just moved it to my 03Z without any issues at all.

I have a hitch w/Corsa touring. The hitch has two horizontal flat bars that splay open moving toward the front of the car. The rear can toward the front rattles now and again.
I am going to pull the muffler and shift the mounting/hanger tab about 1/4" inboard to get rid of the contact point.

I know it is not quite what you wanted in terms of pictures.A trailer hitch can double as you rear tow hook also.

I have the da'lan hitch on my C5z with the two tip Borla Stinger and there's plenty of room.
