Loose exhaust mount?

My car has developed a slight rattle when pulling away - my guess is a broken or loose exhuast mount - the sound seems to be coming from under the drivers seat area but it could be deceptive - how easy is it to check the exhaust and how many clips should there be? Photos of the underside of an E85 would be great
 
I think there are two hangers.

Mine broke and looked like this. You will easily be able to tell just by looking under the back box.

I thought about getting it welded but got a new back box in the end.

This must be a weak spot on the zed exhaust mine is snapped in exactly the same place - just noticed it last week but no noises or bumps so guess it could have been like this for quite some time
 
Unfortunately mine is missing completely.

I can't find a reasonably priced back box to replace it with. Looks like it's new exhaust time or find a friendly welder.

literally over the last few days i have noticed a rattling noise (defo wasn't there before as when i 1st drove it back, 6 hours straight was listening to the exhaust all the way home haha) it sounds to me its coming from underneath me, slightly behind me and to my left so sounds like its from the rear left of the car which would suggest the exhaust mount theory is most probable, but could be deceptive...

will have a climb under the car at weekend when i have daylight to do so (not crawling around outside my office looking under my car during weekday daylight haha)

any other pictures/hints as to where and what it could be if its not this?

thanks, Jamie
