Default car making extremely loud noise, exhaust broke off?

Wassup guys was hoping to get advice on an issue i have. My car is a 2006 lexus gs300

Yesterday i was driving and my car just all of a sudden got really loud while i was driving down the street. i went outside and figured out the sound was coming from right below the front driver side seat. and when i got home i checked underneath and found this pipe that broke off. ive attached pictures.

my question is if this is something i can buy and replace myself? what is the name of this piece? there is another pipe on the other side under the front passenger side seat and that looks to be intact. it looks like this piece might be apart of a whole exhaust assembly but i cant figure out the proper part number or name of what im looking for.

im not a mechanic but i do little things like oil changes and brake/rotor changes often on my cars so i have a little experience and was hoping this was something i can buy and just replace myself.

Take it to a muffler shop and have them weld it back on. Or they may have to cut small section and weld on a new pipe small tube. Any muffler shop should be able to fix this for you and should be pretty cheap, no need to go to fancy muffler shop

Yeah not even worth fixing yourself, have a local muffler shop weld it back together.
