Did you just happen to look underneath the car one day and see it? Or did something happen and then you looked underneath, and there it was.

Sounds like the heat shield. Mines just flew off one day I was driving on the highway. Some ppl say it's worthless. You should be ok without it.

Check for a pulse if you were driniing and driving last night......

Seriously, could be heat shield or a pice of plastic or something. I drove over a bag and it attached to my y pipe.

I noticed it when going over speed bumps pulling into my place at first i though it was under the engine, i looks saw nothing just that scrape bar that protects the engine or whatever, then last night i looked under the whole car its i saw it hanging. Im lowered with sprints soi cant really get under the car. All i could see was something hanging it was all rusty. I try to move it up with my flashlight its sorta big

But most likely a heat shield.
