Installation Notes:
Clears OUR RoadsterSport mufflers except our SuperStreet Twin Tip and Super Q "Header Version" Single Tip! Installation photos are from Mark L's ND with Super-Q and midpipe.
Love this hitch. Watched YouTube to figure out how to remove brake lights, bumper cover, & bumper. Then reassembled with hitch on. Entire job took 3-4 hours comfortably (not in a hurry and being careful). No special tools required. YouTube was fairly accurate in taking rear bumper cover, however I have a 2022 mx5 and there were a few more screws to remove that weren't shown in YouTube video. Would recommend this hitch.
A quite robust and heavy duty product. Installation was of medium-difficulty; about 3 hours.
Exceptional quality.
This is a great product. I used it to haul my Mountain bike and Road bike. I use a 1UP USA hitch mounted rack with the Hard Dog Hideaway hitch.
It is well constructed and bolts right into the MX-5 frame. Installation is straight forward and can be done DIY.
The removable receiver can be left or removed if you are not using the hitch. Make sure you buy the anti-rattle kit.
