I'd bet almost anything that they forgot to tighten one side beyond finger tight. I'd tell the shop that you first suspected a loose muffler bearing and to cut the nonsense. Always check lugs whenever you get car back from a shop. Usually too tight, but sometimes not even touched with a wrench.
90 vs 100 ftlbs is insignificant from a loosening POV and either will be fine as long as torque is even on all bolts.
