Hey Steve, yes the exhaust does need to be lowered to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C37RV. The easiest way to do this is to use an exhaust hanger tool which can be found at just about any hardware store.
If you can't get a set of those, then you can also try spraying the rubber isolators down with some lubricant and then use a large pry tool to pop them loose.

Hey Steve, how did things go lowering the exhaust to mount the Curt hitch on your Santa Fe hybrid? Did the hanger tool or lubricant method make it easier to remove the rubber isolators? Your feedback could really help others tackling the same setup.
