Default Exhaust leak help

I got whole in my muffler today and I need some help. I was accelerating out of a turn and all of a sudden the exhaust noise got real loud under my car. I thought it was going to be coming right off the engine but luckily it's on the actual muffler. At the next light when I hit the gas something fell off my car. I pulled over and picked it up... it was a mount of some sort.

When I got home I looked under my car and saw what had happened. The mount that secured the muffler to the frame had come off and when that happened, it tore two holes in the muffler.

Can anyone help me fix it? Or should I just take it to a muffler shop?

just by a new muffler and have them weld a rubber support to it so that wont happen again

Cut the muffler off and support the pipe with some metal ties to the frame.
