Installation Details for Curt Class I Hitch # C11204 on 2005 Honda Civic 4 door
Updated 08/22/2013 | Published 08/20/2013
Question:
Info stated no drilling required. Do you still have to fish tail the plate and bolt?. I looked underneath my car and noticed a hole that is blocked by the muffler. Does the muffler have to be lowered or removed. Thanks

Expert Reply:
You are correct, the spacer block and bolt will need to be fished through the frame. I have linked you to a video that explains this technique.
If you need to lower the exhaust a bit in order to access the mounting holes, I have linked you to a video showing how this is done. Simply spray the rubber isolator and mounts with a spray lubricant like WD-40 and slide the mount out of the isolator.
I have also linked you to the hitch installation instructions, as well as to an FAQ article that provides other hitch installation tips that you might find helpful.
