Should I start by loosening the 4 bolts that hold the muffler section to the X-pipe section and try to re-position/twist it? Will this mess up the gasket seal or otherwise be just plain pointless? Should I begin bending things?

That might work.

2 welded metal pieces forming the arm of the bracket instead of 1. I wonder why they changed it
