Hey Richard! I'm assuming you have a setup just like the picture below. Even with that exhaust style you won't have a problem using the Thule Arcos # TH25YE. This sits a good distance out from the rear and also has a built-in rise on the shank to raise it up and out of the way from your exhaust. There may be some additional heat, just not enough to cause damage (unless you're hauling chocolate).
If you have any additional questions don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below.

Hey Richard, how did things turn out with the Thule Arcos carrier on your Veracruz? Did the distance from the exhaust keep the heat from being an issue? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same setup.
