Car towed - now sounds louder...

so my car got towed yesterday, and after i picked it up ($171 towing + $50 ticket + $11 cab ride), it now sounds somehow lowder. there is a distinct droning sound, especially while accelerating in lower gears. could they have damaged the muffler or something? i looked, but i can't see any damage... going to the dealer monday...

You'll have to inspect the exhaust system closely. Up on a hoist would help. Something has gotten loose or pulled apart.
Assuming it was towed to the dealer, he should find and fix the problem at his expense.

I am thinking the worse...they towed it with the rear wheels down on the ground. Damaged the rear diff.

nope it's not the rear diff - they towed it by the rear wheels. i saw them from the distance - pulling out with my car in tow... those motherf.ckers... i have yet to go the dealer... no time lately... might do it early next week, get an oil change while i'm there...
