Default left muffler hanging

Hi folks - hope all are well this first day of spring.
I have searched the forum about a muffler hanging but haven't really found anything similar to my question.
The left muffler pipe hangs a little lower than the right on my 03 MC LS and I was wondering if I can tighten it up by using the silver clamp thing that is like the one by the air intake? Sorry - I don't know the name of the clamp thing but it seems like an easy fix.

Any suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks,
E

Thank you Mike - I'll check the links out.
Hope you have a blessed Sunday and YES I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me... I just helped my 19 yr old daughter change her battery, air filter and oil. It's not a feminist thing, it's a self sufficient thing! We are learning and thanks to friends like you it's liberating!
Take care and thanks again!

You're welcome `Evie, I think it is not just a male thing, but also a feminist thing to be self sufficient & save some big $'s. I admire you for doing your own maintenance to your Monte. Our female MCF Moderator `Barbara has a 84 Chevy Monte Carlo that she works on herself & takes it to the track and races. She's amazing & I hope you get to know her...She's a inspiration and just not for females, but for everyone...

Good Luck on getting your repairs completed Peace/Out

So - apparently this is what's up - well I can't attach an image.? Anyway, whatever brace held my left muffler up is rusted. How can I attach an image? It ask for a http:// link to image?
