Mods for Curt Hitch on C6 W/Dual Mode Ex'
I built a small trailer to haul my racing tires and a toolbox. I have a new Curt brand C6 hitch, but it needs to be modified to fit around the dual mode exhaust. Has anyone made this mod? Photos / sketches?
Thanks,
Skip Kerwin

I made my own hitch. I wanted to be able to easily install/remove it at the track. I can take some pics of the hitch itself if you want.
I tied into wiring behind the right side taillights and brought the plug down next to the license plate.

Hitch that works with Dual Mode Exhaust
My wife surprised me with a trailer for Christmas, knowing that I needed it, since going to Hoosiers. My car is a GS with Dual Mode, so I would really appreciate any info, including photos and drawings for the hitch. Looks like you have California plates; where do you race? Thanks very much, Jeff

If you'd rather use it as a receiver style, just shorten it about 3" where the ball mounts and weld a receiver tube underneath.
That's an AZ plate. We had two tracks in the Phoenix area until last year when they both closed. Firebird is re-opening this month (now called Wild Horse Pass Raceway Park), so we can play again. I may go to Sacramento in late Jan or early Feb for a Saturday T'nT.

I did the mods as per ConeRacer. Very simple to do and very strong and works great .(thanks again cone racer for all your help ).I didn't even cut my pin .just pull the mufflers over to get the pin in place .I also didn't cut the plates down by using a step drill bit to enlarge holes .I tow a trailer that weighs about 650 with quad on top .very strong and much easier to do than any other way to modify the hitch .
