Metal rod snapped

[wirf]

Under the car there is a V rod connected to a large rubber piece. Last night I noticed that this had broken and is just hanging by the rubber piece. I posted a picture of this. Any help of what it could be and what to do with it would be great. Thanks.

Looks like an exhaust hanger to me. Looks like it rusted out and broke off of the pipe supporting that resonator/cat. You'll notice the other side has an almost identical hanger. Any reliable exhaust shop should be able to tack a new rod up, assuming the pipe is structurally sound and doesn't now have a hole in it.

YEP^^^ its the exhaust hanger. not surprised it snapped. especially if its still the stock exhaust. its bound to rust and snap eventually.
