Was driving on to the ferry one day. Heard this loud scraping noise as I went over one of the ramps. First time I check didn’t notice anything(was night time hard to see) but I noticed the sound of my exhaust sounding different and a rattle and metal screech/scrape every time I go over large speed bumps. So I took another look under and found this beauty all mangled up and it looks like it damaged the outer shell of part of the exhaust system. I need help identifying these parts so I can get this repaired ASAP.

The picture is pretty blurry, can you use flash at least?
The only thing I can think of is the cat heat shield. It's not the most important thing, mine rusted off last winter, and I don't think it's sold separate from the $2000 cat.

Yeah the video doesn't play on my phone and on my computer I had to try a few different players to play it.
Anyway, it looks like the tunnel brace just forward of the fuel tank.
In this picture its just behind the white line.
But holy crap, that must've been some scrape.

yes I’m never using the ferry again. And it seems during the scrape the exhaust pipe was pierced right where the white line is. My car exhaust is now doing a fluttering(performance hasn’t suffered just annoying to drive now).
Got clearer pics now. Looks like my exhaust is safe. Thought it’s was comprised but closer inspection reveals it’s fine thank goodness. The cross member ripped out but the bolts are still there. So seems just a matter of replace the cross member/transmission tunneling brace.
That's a pretty good effort!
Its just a chassis brace and you will be fine to just remove it until you find another.
Looks as though the exhaust hanger mount has broken off, an exhaust shop should be able to reattach.
Luckily the fuel and brake lines survived unscathed.
