Loose exhaust on my 03 max

Before you call me a retard, This is my first car, so i know absolutely **** all about cars. the problem (looseness) with the exhaust isnt bad it just wiggles a bit but i was wondering is it was actually an aftermarket exhaust since it made a low growl when idling. And it was a decently loud growl when starting up. (not a stock exhaust sound according to youtube) or is it just the looseness that is making the sound like that? Is that possible?

other than that everything in the car works perfectly!


PS- I do not want you to tell me about how its not good for a first time car buyer, because i can afford it and i wanted it.

Pics of the exhaust?

If it's "loose" it's possible the rubber hangers that hold the exhaust in place are worn, or maybe a hanger or two is broken. Take a look at those.

Hose clamps if those hangars are indeed loose and you don't feel like spending the dough on new hangars.

Best thing to do when joining a car forum and posting a question is to take thorough look at the problem before actually posting a question, this way, you have more information and we can be of better assistance if and when you do post. Odds are, you will have found the problem with a little research on the forums, and looking at your own problem.
