2013 Yaris SE - Hitch Issues?

[bm_cricket]

I have a 2013 Toyota Yaris SE and I'm struggling to fit a bicycle to the back of it. I am weary of hatchback style bike mounts because of damage to the paint where they secure to the hitch. The same goes for roof-top mounts that go into the door frames. I really like hitch mounted bike racks and I already have the bookrack itself. I just need a hitch.

So here is my problem: I ordered a Curt hitch that's designed for a 2013 Yaris, got it on my car, and it wouldn't clear my exhaust! The exhaust sits on the cross bar for the hitch and rattles!

Does anyone else on here have a 2012 or 2013 Yaris SE with a hitch? Where did you get it? How did you mount it? Did you have issues?
