Default help to identify under carriage parts?

I'm not familiar with these parts that are damaged, can anyone tell me the name of them? Mainly the "cross-brace" type of deal that goes under my exhaust and to each side of the car. Seems like that and the part right behind it that got dented/scraped are the main areas of damage.



Through more searching it seems the brace is a "W" or "M" brace hence the shape... but I cannot find that part number or even a diagram with that part on it. Still not sure what the other part is that is scraped/dented.

The scraped silver part looks like a heat shield for the exhaust system. Not sure what it's called...

Thanks, I was hoping it was a heat shield of some sort, and nothing important on the other side lol.

That M-brace or whatever it is called really took all the damage underneath... which I hope is a good thing. That and I hope my wheels aren't bent, but I'm sure I won't find that out until the rest of the car gets fixed.

On the W brace,ironically there was a post about a week ago on this part.
A member posted a schematic of the under carriage parts&part numbers.
Do a search,you should be able to find the info.Or,perhaps he will answer your inquiry.

Hey, I realize this is a little late and you may have found your solution but it is called a stay.
I was the one who posted the thread before. Mine was kinda messed up as well.
