I found on another website suggesting using an 1-1/8" hole saw rather than elongating the existing hole to allow the installation of the hitch bolting - it works great and is a much neater installation. When using the hole saw on the muffler side be sure stay clear of the tapped hole for the heat sheild. I also sprayed under coating on the new holes. Note when putting the heat sheild back you will only be using 3 screws one screw hole must be cut away for the clearance of the hitch. Great product.

2010 subaru outback 2" receiver curt trailer hitch.

Do not cut the muffler heat shield. You can make a couple 2" cuts with tin snips when the install is about finished, and fit it over the nuts/bolts. No need to trim away ANY heat shield.

The fish wire works way better than I thought it could. Drill carefully, be neat. I used NASA silicone heat shield lubricant for the rubber muffler mounts. Worked great, slid right off, then later back on. Spray silicone would be fine.

The CURT directions are really good- but if you think about it, move slowly, and observe the way things fit- it will make things simple and easy. I also used John Deere tractor anti-rust paint to paint the drilled holes. Less rust on my car... and I used 50 yr silicone sealant to plug all holes, when I finished.

Looks great- and no bumper cutting as in the Subaru Dealer mount. Also- I do not haul BIG loads, but have a bunch of accessories that fit 2" receivers.... this hitch has a 2" receiver. I love it for the fit- NOT the load capacity, which my car will not pull.
