I've also read the rest of your statement, but can't figure out what you're trying to say with regards to my bumper and an Audi bumper.

with the ball fitted no part of my audi towball is lower than the bottom of the bumper and it touches even so on occasion so I regard that as minimum acceptable clearance ; the one you illustrate clearly is completely below bumper height so would have less clearance .....3 inches from what you say ; I doubt that audi would go to the extent of having to cut the back bumper to fit a tow hitch if they thought the clearance satisfactory without doing so
with regard to the exhaust it doesn't cause any problems being suspended on rubber mountings which allow it to move upwards if it touches
however , it depends what you want to tow I suppose , I use the maximum capacity and go to odd places living in the countryside , if you intend to tow lighter weights with a lower nose weight it certainly would be less critical , my trailer is 2 tonnes
