Default Weird Clunk when going over bumps

Car: 02 TA Firehawk 45k miles.
So I've had a strange clunk when going over bumps / expansion joints in bridges, small dips in the road etc. It started after I had a bit of wheel hop
while leaving the parking lot at work. I got on it a little and the hop seemed kind of rough. At first I thought maybe the jack was loose in its spot next to the spare. After checking that and seeing it was secure I thought maybe the trunk release hatch was loose and rattling about. That wasn't it either. I looked under the car and found the exhaust hanger clamp had snapped apart. This is what it looks like now:
(sorry for crappy cell phone pix)



This is an image I found online of what it should look like.


Anyone know a part number / where I can order one of these / Have one laying around to sell?

Thanks

no where is that at? I'm working 60-70 hour weeks so I'm not getting out at all really lol. Id like to get out and see some action tho my car is still basicly stock besides headers / exhaust. I need to fix a few things on her. DRL giving me ****, exhaust hanger broke, among a few other minor things.
