Using a hidden hitch with Nismo exhaust
 

I have an 03 touring with Nismo exhaust, and I am looking to put a hidden hitch of some type on the car to use with a bike rack. I have done several searches but I am unable to confirm which if any hitch design/manuacturer will work with the Nismo exhaust. Does anyone have any experience with this setup that would be able to advise.

Thanks,

Oh and no I am not buying another car to carry my road bike.

Not that I'd ever think of putting any type of hitch on a Z,just looking at the location of the NISMO exhaust(I have one too)Don't see how a hitch would be mounted.Convert to duals,yes.

that one may work, ill have to contact the maker of it. i thought i read in a post that someone recently sold this one and mentioned it wont work with nismo, only dual exhaust

Mine seems as though it would work but I have a nismo back with the nismo exhaust. It all depends on the space between the muffler and the bumper. I won't find out if mine fit until after winter.

^ exactly...you need gap behind the bumper beam..not really the bumper....but the alluminum rear crash impact bumper beam....gap between that and the nismo exhaust or any middle mounted exhaust.........oem clears for sure ive seen..

honestly i have seen people just hard rubber mallet dent their aftermarket middle mounted exhaust to create clearance....sure they dent their exhaust but its minor and its at an UNSEEN portion of the exhaust.........
