I have a 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i. Would like to verify that this hitch fits my single exhaust car and was wondering if the manufacture is Curt?

Yes and yes, the etrailer.com hitch part # e98839 that you referenced does fit your 2014 Subaru Forester with a single exhaust and also is manufactured by the American hitch manufacturer Curt.

I attached a picture of this hitch installed on a similar Forester with single exhaust as well as an install video for you to check out too.

The best trailer wiring option is then the Tekonsha kit part # 118467 which is very easy to install and comes with a very reliable converter box. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
