exhuast donuts it looks like. usually the exhuast has a hook welded on, and that donut holds the system up.

^ that's exactly what it is.

Looking at your exhaust (in the background), at some point someone had a custom exhaust welded in. Those hooks were originally for holding up the catalytic converter section of the car. There should be some more at the very end of the car for the back side of the mufflers.

They flex a lot more than welded metal would.

Normally I think you can only replace those by welding new ones.

Don't buy new ones, they're so expensive...

Just buy used. Anyone parting out a car will have tons of them..
