Hitch + Magnaflow?
Hitch + Magnaflow? So I was thinking about putting a hitch on the back of my car to handle a bike rack. However, I have the mangnaflow exhaust system. Anyone know if the hitch interferes with the exhaust? Anyone have underside pictures with the hitch installed so I can see where it mounts/etcetera so I can figure out if it fits?

I have a truck as well. . . .but sometimes the hitch just might more sense on the car. I am planning on selling the truck so all I have left is the impala and the legacy gt . . .. and the camaro whenever it comes out. . .. yah I will stick with the hitch on the Impala. . . .its the ugly duckling of the bunch. . .

Yes, the hitch fits fine with the MF exhaust...and it's barely noticeable. Hidden Hitch #90137 - got it from Hitchmart for $154. Install is relatively easy the first time around. I took it off when the dealer blamed it for the clunk i'm hearing in the rear ("added undue rigidity") and just put it back on late last month in 20 min. It will be off again midweek LOL/
The following pics are with the OEM exhaust, but i just got back from 2 weeks in the Adirondack Mtns havint towed 1000lbs. or so 320mi each way. She held up fine (2nd time towing for this purpose) although the mileage sucked as you could imagine.

You get new tips Buff?
Two thumbs up on the bike thing Eddie ... Imp's are good cars for the weekend MTB excursion.
Wish I could get one for my car, but would have to hack up the sweet rear ground effects, no chance in hell that will happen.
So I drop the seats and my Trek fills up the rear cargo area of my SSUV.

Yeah, eddie, i've got the MF kit on my car and have no issues getting the hitch on or off.
Kaz, i cut off the MF "bubble" tips and slapped on a pair of Trailblazer SS slash-cut 3.5" tips. They're smaller than the 4" MF's, but much better looking IMO. They stay cleaner, too, which is nice.
Previously had these ugly things:
