C6 Corvette Trailer Hitch??
Has anyone installed a Curt part # 11380 Trailer hitch on their C6 Vette? Don't shoot me please. Just wondered if towing a Light Fishing boat (1000lb) would be OK? Let the Smart *** Comments Fly! LOL.
Also I have Corsa Mufflers will it be OK???

I put a Curt on both my '08 with NPP oem mufflers and the same on my '06 ZO6 with oem NPP.. Not sure about how this might fit with your Corsa muffs? Just read the Curt installation instructions that stated the install would be 60 minutes. Well, maybe someone could complete it in an hour, but realistically it'll be the better part of an afternoon. Yet worth it. Best of luck!

The Curt 11380 can be had for less money on Amazon. It WILL need to be modified if you have an aluminum frame, or if you have the NPP option. With a base model, and the Corsas, I do not know. Not familiar with either of them. It should bolt right onto a base, but will it fit the Corsas? No idea.

Those do not look any closer than the NPP tips. I had to redrill the hitch and the receiver vertically to put the safety pin in, because there is no room to put it in from the sides.That was no fun, the hitch is solid steel.

Without drilling any holes in the frame at all? All I can say is "well done".
