    Anybody running a trailer hitch on a WRX sedan? I'm interesting in mounting a swing-arm styled bike rack. I know it's doable...

    Mine has a tow hitch and exhaust. It's a "tolerance" fit.

    Brian, are you running a bike rack on the hitch? I am going to look into roof racks as well. Thanks guys. I have to get back to tuning up the Rascal. :)

    I've got a hitch and a 4.5" exhaust tip. Extra long hangers own.

    I got mine from www.hitches-for-less.com good price and easy install.

    I'm not using a bike rack, I just use it to tow my utility trailer. Which may have a bike/motorcycle/home improvement materials on it.

    Longer exhaust hangers would have rocked. I've got the stock hangers *really* stretched right now.

    I haven't had a chance to put the hitch on yet, but will give a review when I do! The ABS exhaust has a MUCH smaller muffler, so I am hoping there are no clearance issues...

    Excellent! Let me know...I priced out roof rack and mounts yesterday and I'm shocked at how expensive they are!!!
