Question:

I have a greddy rs single exit catback on my car and was wondering if the EcoHitch would fit with aftermarket exhaust? Thanks

That's a tricky question that would be very difficult to answer. The hitches are designed to fit around a stock exhaust. If your aftermarket exhaust sits exactly where the stock exhaust would, then the # 306-X7257 EcoHitch would fit perfectly for you. However, if the aftermarket exhaust is positioned differently or is larger than the stock exhaust you might have problems getting everything to fit together.

My best advice would be to check out the linked install video, and pay very close attention to how the hitch fits on the vehicle. You can then compare this to how the aftermarket exhaust fits, and come up with a pretty good idea if everything will work together. Also, a muffler shop might be able to make some minor alterations that could allow the hitch to fit.
