Shouldn't be a problem. To avoid doing this in the future, get an aftermarket exhaust! :lol:
Unless you sat there holding the key in the start position and heard the gears grinding for a couple minutes I can't imagine you doing any critical damage - kind of like grinding a gear occasionally. Not a huge deal, just don't do it too often.
I know I did it once in my previous 3, but I can't remember if it ground the ring gear or if there was a fail safe switch that disabled the starter.
