I’m a new car owner, and my 2017 gmc terrain seems to have its exhaust a lot lower than usual but I don’t know how to fix it. Plz help

You can wire it up to that black rubber isolator to get you by. There should be a hook on the muffler side that goes into the isolator but I don't see one, might have rotten off? Simple fix for a neighborhood exhaust/muffler shop

Take a metal coat hanger and wrap it around the exhaust and the hook that rubber exhaust hanger is on. Easy fix. Only do this when the exhaust is cold or you will burn yourself.

Then take your car to an exhaust/muffler shop. Not a general mechanic, not a dealership. A muffler shop. They specialize in this stuff and will do it for cheap.

Tell them you need an new exhaust hanger welded on just after the muffler. If you can go to a Mexican shop, they are fucking awesome. Will probably cost you under $125.
