I have a 1996 VW Jetta (4Cyl). I noticed a weird sound coming from the rear of the car. I took a look and noticed that the right side of the exhaust is hanging down. The left side is still being held up, but the right side is hanging down. I wiggled the pipe, and it is VERY loose. Is this something I can fix myself? Or is it going to be very expensive? Is there supposed to be something on the right side of the exhaust holding it up?

VW used round donuts to hold up the exhaust pipes, look on the good side and see were the hangar is...usually theres one on the tailpie section and one at or just before the muffler.
