Does Exhaust Get Lowered to Install Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13153

Updated 07/11/2017 | Published 07/10/2017

Question:

I am interested in the Curt trailer hitch for 2017 Hyundai Santa FE SE. I watched the video and appears installation is straight forward but does not mention that you have to lower exhaulst system. Tech tips indicates the following No drilling required for installation , Exhaust must be temporarily lowered for installation , Spare tire will need to be lowered or removed temporarily for hitch installation , Underbody panels and/or fascia must be temporarily loosened or removed. I am trying too determine if the exhaust needs to be loosened and then lowered to stall the hitch. Thank You

If you want to see the entire install process for the Curt hitch part # C13153 that you referenced on your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe you would want to check out the install video I attached below. Basically you have to take the exhaust off the hangers and that's all it takes to lower it.

We use a strap typically to control the movement of the exhaust as it lowers.
