| But where I can get one? |
 |
| 1. The hitch is really wide, since the Pilot doesn't have a ladder-frame. Plus, the Pilot itself is quite wide. |
 |
| 2. Remove the towhook and the spare tire. |
 |
| 3. Drop the exhaust. Give it some support. You'll have about 5" of vertical play at the tip. |
 |
| 4. Remove the hangers by wiggling them off the straight metal tips. |
 |
| 5. There are three total hangers for the muffler. |
 |
| 6. Push the hitch back toward the bumper cover to line up the bolt holes. The hitch weighs about 35 pounds, so you'll need a friend's help. |
 |
| 7. Do the same on the passenger side. |
 |
| 8. Re-hang the muffler on its pins. It's a tight fit and the heat shield needed some "adjustment" to keep it from hitting the hitch. It's aluminum and bends easily. |
 |
| 9. Success! |
