I wouldn't worry about it that much.
I'm sure they can fix it, and even if they can't you could just run w/o mufflers or GT mufflers for a little while until you wanted to replace your originals.

Probably some cosmetic damage to the tips, a few bent hangers and a bit of bent pipes behind the muffs. I'll bet the hardest part of the fix will be getting the tips re-centered in the bumper cutouts. That can be a pain when everything is normal, let alone bent. But it's all fixable.

So i learned today that finding an open exhuast shop on a saturday around noon isnt easy.

I found a shop they put it up on the lift and they quoted me at $275, they said theres alot of labor involved.

The hangers were broke so that will be an easy weld fix, they said the pipe was bent back and tha they would have to cut pieces out and reattached them once their straight
to me it just seems way to much money, esp sence the same shop charged me 150 to put duals on my old car. The guy did tack the exhuast up as high as he could so i could get threw the rest of the wekend.

Im going to take it a couple other shops this week and get quotes. ill attacked a pic below its not a great pic but ull get an idea of teh damage.
