Rear diffuser options that are lower than stock?

[WolfDampf]

Hi y'all! I finally got my hitch installed on my Fiesta. I've been planning on doing quad tips out the back(yes I know it's more weight I just love the look) but now see my hitch installed is in the way. I cut the lower valence a bit for it to fit(I have a few of those wasn't worried about it) and realize I do need to cut the hitch sides more for clearance of the bumper. Even if I do so you can see the tips won't fit up there replicating the passenger side without hitting the hitch. Before I give up, as the hitch is very important to me, any ideas how to make the valence/diffuser lower and place the tips down below? Thanks for y'all help.

Maybe a diffuser like this and then drop the tips below it. Other ideas is to remove the diffuser completely and see if I can make it look good

My hitch doesn’t get in the way of the bumper. I didn’t even know that was a problem.

Adding anything below the valance is going to impede air flow further imo but will be a nice race inspired cosmetic enhancement to go with the quad tips.

What hitch is that? Mine is a custom hitch from a cut up draw tite as originally I wanted it to be tucked under the bumper cover.... Now seeing it's in the way for my quad tips may have to find something else. Would you be able to tell me if there seems space for 3.5'' exhaust tips between your hitch and the bumper?

The Curt hitch.
The 3” Thermal duals I had installed in the photo barely fit, I don’t think a 3.5” would fit as they have a considerable gap between them that the Thermal doesn’t. You will likely have to trim the bumper in that area or it will melt.

Looks like I might ditch the quad tip idea and switch my mindset to weight savings 😂.
