How can I tell if I just need to replace the muffler bracket, and how would I do so?

Question:
I have a '98 Honda Civic LX, and had the muffler replaced last summer. I don't believe there were any rust problems with the connecting pipe. Recently I heard a "ting ting ROAR" when driving, and it sounded like something small fell off the car. The muffler and pipe are no longer connected; they make a "V" but nothing is dragging on the ground. Does it sound like I can just go to an auto parts store & get a bracket, jack up my car, and install it? Do I need to know anything special for this?
Thanks!

a u-bolt with a backing plate should take care of this, and this is something you can do yourself. you may need a clamp (C clamp here in the 'states, G clamp in europe) to force the u bolt through the backing plate to put the nuts on it to clamp the u bolt around the muffler and pipe.

might want to find out WHY this happened, unless you scraped the muffler on a driveway or the like. perhaps an exhaust pipe hanger came loose or broke.
