Boxster 987S accident damage

[kelsey]

A month ago I was hit while stopped at a traffic light. The vehicle that hit me swerved away at the last moment but caught me fairly solid on the passengers rear bumper The body shop that I went to did a fantastic job! Excellent work!

As part of the repair, they removed my muffler to check it out and then reinstalled it with all new gaskets. My question is that before I brought the car into the shop, I carefully inspected it and noticed that the muffler collection point (see picture) was about 1.5 or 2 inches away from the transmission support (see picture). The car was louder when I drove it to the body shop. Now it is quite again but the distance between the muffler collection point and the transmission is only about 1/2 inch. Should I be concerned?

Thanks in advance.
