Stealth Hitch

[Grintch]

This is what I got back from Steve, the CEO, two days ago. Still looks like they are waiting on someone local.....

Hi Don,

We fully intend to get it completed. We just need a local customer to bring one in with a stock muffler to confirm fitment.

Best regards.

Just checking their site I see that they finally released one. Though it says for 18+ mustangs.

I emailed Steve about it this morning and he just responded. They believe it fits the 15-17 also, but need a confirmation of fitment before they officially release it. I went ahead and placed an order and will let them know if there are any issues. I will also update here.

Yay, finally! I'm going to have to get one, plus they have a 15% off holiday deal going!

Glad to see this. I haven't gotten around to checking on what hitches are available. Thought I might have to give up my Kuat with the Mustang. A little pricey, but I'll be keeping it in mind.

So, anyone experience how difficult it is to mount yet? I don't see much with a quick search.

Also, why did the OP get one and then want to sell it? Did I miss that part?

As the OP, I just ordered one, haven't received it yet. Not sure how difficult it will be to install, they don't actually have install instructions posted like for other vehicles. Looking at install guides for other cars, it doesn't seem that hard (like no more difficult than installing a catback exhaust or new intercooler).

Interesting. I had a custom invisible hitch built for my 86 vert. Similar in design except the receiver is angled rather than vertical. The angle is supposed to transfer the back and forth load better. Was designed as a class 2 unit. Still completely hidden until the ball insert is installed. However, because it is a one-off creation was way more expensive than the Stealth Hitch piece.

I'm selling mine, which is the only one that exists and is a prototype. Can't ship it obviousuly because it's 30 lbs. and huge, but... selling it

Dang, I just got mine, but haven't installed it yet. This thing is huge and heavy, it's got to be way more than 30 lbs though! But it's beautifully built.

Anyone find one online over in Europe.. I been looking in Germany and such but they only have hitches to 2014 model year.. Europeans put hitches on everything so there has to be one out there somewhere.

The Curt receiver hitch weighs 36# and it's fairly compact, but rugged. I was apprehensive about what it would do to the looks of the car, but after some time, I'm good with it now.

Ok, so looking over the instructions for the Stealth Hitch, it doesn't look that hard. Have to pull the bumber cover and lower and support the exhaust at the rear. The hitch mounts to the rear frame rails like the other ones. One nice thing is there's no cutting/trimming of the lower bumber fascia like you have to do for a lot of the other supported cars/SUVs. Installation time stated is 3 hours, so for me that probably means 5 or so. I'll have to set aside some time to do this soon.

Ok, so what is with this wacky exhaust setup on this Mustang? This is from the installation sheet. What's with those weird extra looping pipes?????

Beats me, rear mounted turbos? They sure picked an oddball for a guinea pig.

Over $500 for a Stealth hitch!!!. I'll pass...
