Default Blew out muffler baffle? How do I fix this

Ok so apparantly my tune is a little off... Anyways (thats a whole different deal that I'm addressing also). Was coming home and my car loaded up and backfired. Pretty sure it blew the muffler baffles out or something came loose inside the muffler. It has a vibration/rattle sound that comes around at certain rpms. Anyway to fix this short of getting a new muffler? I have TOTL and I think it'll be a bit hard to find this muffler.

Thanks in advance
Doug
