Default DIY trailer hitch installation 2002 ES300

Anybody installed one of these (heavy duty trailer hitch) recently? I purchased heavy duty hitch and bike rack for the hitch for 2002 ES300. The hitch came without any bolts etc. from the manual here http://www.uhaul.com/pubshandler.ash...PLx1422INlFI+w i figured out i needed M10 - 1.25 x 30 bolts, so i got 6 of those (hex) with the nuts and washers.

My question is - from looking briefly at the bottom rear of my car it looks like i need to pull the exhaust down to put the hitch on. Is this true? Also, it is not clear to me if i need to drill any additional holes to install the hitch. The manual referenced above calls for additional drilling but that manual is for the sport frame hitch, mine is heavy duty. so i hope i do not need to drill.

Any comments/ recommendations, before i start taking things apart?

Thanks.
