What one? The one that holds the muffler to the bumper out back?

Do it yourself. Two 13mm nuts and it comes right off.

You actually don't even need to jack the car up to take them off, if those are the ones you're talking about:



I cut the deteriorated rubber away and replaced it with 3D printed parts from corvetteclips.com
