Default loose muffler

Hi guys!
I was driving the other day and heard some clanging when I hita small bump on my right side. Turns out my rear muffler is a little loose, it's just hanging there. Is this something I can put back? I haven't really looked under there. What should I be looking for?

What do you mean by hanging there? The exhaust is "attached" to the car via some thick rubber o-rings so it should be "hanging" there. This is near the exhaust opening. It is also attached in the rear (of the exhaust but towards the front of the car) by another rubber piece (and of course it is also bolted to the rest of the piping). Are you thinking the rubber hangers are gone?

Can you look under and tell us what you see or can you snap a pic?

yeah, I'll try to snap a pic later.
but this is what I've got now:
the left exhaust, when I try to move it, is pretty rigid. But the right one, I'm able to move around the rear opening for the exhaust. I'm thinking whatever was holding it towards the rear of the car broke off or something.
