Question:

Do you have a hitch for a 2018 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback WITH the center exhaust? Just for a bike rack. Thanks

While it's possible to carry bikes, there is no way to add a hitch to your 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback with the center exhaust, because that is where the hitch receiver would be. So no hitches fit, but you can carry bikes with a trunk-mounted bike rack:

- Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Rack # Y02634

I verified directly with Yakima that the FullBack # Y02634 fits your Civic. Apart from just being a fit, the FullBack is a quality rack, with strong anti-sway cradles and ratcheting straps which secure your bikes at three different points. This is important because it ensures your bikes don't make any contact with each other or your Honda. Another important factor which makes the FullBack the top option is its integrated security measures which keeps your bikes and the rack safely in your possession.

It comes with a cable lock which secures your bikes to the rack, as well as a steel-reinforced strap that stores inside your hatch to help keep the FullBack safely anchored to your Honda.
