I had to have the engine replaced on my '96 Pontiac Sunfire a few weeks ago. When the mechanic removed the exhaust system to do this, he broke a rig job that the previous owners had done to keep the muffler in place. He was unable to re-rig the muffler up, so now it is knocking around when I drive. We have tried to rig it up ourselves using a perforated metal strap (the kind that secures with a nut and bolt), zip ties, and a wire coat hanger. None of the rigs have held. We have asked the guys at O'Reilley's Auto Parts, but none of them know what the part is that we need, even after looking at the car themselves. It is the piece that the rubber insulators go on that helps to brace the muffler strap. I have pictures, but I don't know how to put them on here.

That should be part of the exhaust pipe. If you go to a muffler shop, they may be able to weld one on for you.
