Fits like a glove on my Scion xB!
I have a Borla Exhaust and had no problem installing this Hitch. It is kind of low since it is hiding bellow the bumper but you can always get an hitch rise adapter to bring it up a few. No problem on the bumps, but I can imagine you would if the car was lowered.

Hitchsource prices were great and shipping was prompt. I was able to get this hitch from Hitchsource faster than local shops could get it from their suppliers, and for less money!
Like another reviewer, mine arrived slightly bent, but I was able to bend the side-piece straight again so that everything fit. Mine was only about 1/4 inch off from where it should be. If yours is more you probably want to get a new one rather than try to straighten it. I'm pretty sure UPS ships the boxes standing on their end, even though the boxes are clearly labeled "This side up". Curt could probably pack their hitches a little more carefully, but hey, at least they are being environmentally friendly by not using packing foam. Note that this is a problem with UPS and, to a lesser extent, the way that Curt packs their hitches. It has nothing to do with Hitchsource.com.
I was able to install the hitch myself without removing the exhaust or putting the car up on jacks. I think the easiest way to get it over the muffler is to remove the 6 or so plastic clips that secure the lower part of the passenger-side rear bumper, and then remove (or rotate to the side) that entire section of bumper. The clips are the same type as the one that you have to remove to install the hitch. Just use a flat head screw driver to pop up the circle and it pulls out easily. It's really not very hard to do and makes positioning the hitch extremely easy.

Thanks to Hitch Source.com for this hitch. A good product. Here is my experience:
1) Hitch was a good price & came with all the parts I needed except the hitch ball.
2) Install instructions were clear
3) If you install over the muffler first, it's easy to get on (you can kinda twist and wiggle it over the muffler, rather than having to drop the muffler)
4) bolts on quickly to existing holes in the Scion XB
5) Looks good, is hidden under the bumper so you don't see it
6) Seems to be a quality product.
I haven't had the opportunity to really use it yet, but I'm sure it will work well.

We bought the hitch to support a 4 bike-bike rack. We also had the hitch professionally installed, since we had no way of lifting the car up to install it ourselves. But the installers said it was no problem and pretty easy to install---the same as what the rest of the reviewers are saying. They just had to move some of the pipes over to get it in right, and it went in pretty good! We put a bike rack on from K-Mart, and we are very pleased. The only problem is it does hang sort of low, on such a low car, with the weight of the bikes. But with our first trip with the kids, suitcases, bikes and all, and first time out with the hitch and rack, we only had a few minor scrapes....and now that we got the hang of driving with it, we are very pleased. My husband does want to get extra shocks on the rear of the car, though, as a safety precaution. Thanks, HitchSource, for a great product, and easy way to get our bikes around. Now we can really have fun!

This was one of the easiest installs I have ever done. Between the hitch and the wiring harness it took about an hour. Everything fit perfectly and works great. The only part that can be seen after the install is the receiver portion and it does not hang down far at all. The fit and finish are all top notch. The ordering, customer service and shipping were all quick and easy. The price is great too.

HitchSource is GREAT! I would defiantly buy from them again. I ordered the hitch for my xB, it arrived in a few days, I had someone try to install it for me and it did not fit right (could only get 2 of the four screws in.) It was damaged. I followed the instructions on the HitchSource website, contacting UPS to file a claim and then contacting HitchSource to explain. The following day UPS picked up the damaged hitch and delivered the new hitch at the same time. WOW what great customer service! The new hitch fit perfectly within 15-20 minutes. Another happy customer. (PS. I never wrote a review before, but I really feel they deserve the recognition.)
