Default manifold fell off...harmful?

I hit the little curb thing from the road to my yard today and when I did the manifold of the exhaust flew out from the side of it. The pipe/muffler itself is still there, just the U shape manifold that comes right off the motor fell off. As soon as Isaw it happen I drove it a few yards slow back to myself and stopped the flywheel (and placed it at bdc). Could that few seconds of it being off caused any harm to the motor? It looks like that spring that wraps around the motor holding it on just broke or something.

Truck is a Ofna Nexx 8t btw with the .32, all stock

Not going to be harmful at all. Get a new spring and get back to it.
