Weird....
So I get my car back from the auto body shop yesterday and today I decide to take the kid gloves off and test her out . First thing I notice is that my x-pipe sounds closer to stock than before . Then under full throttle the car would jerk at 60 mph for like 1/4 if a second almost feels like s downshift . This happened like 4 times but I can't duplicate it anymore . I'm wondering if it's an ecu issue ?

So many things could be causing your issue, so unfortunately, having the dealer or shop scan your car is the only direct way to diagnose.
Having said that, since you say that it only happens during hard acceleration, perhaps you have a failing MAF or the intake/air filters weren't reinstalled securely/correctly? Under normal conditions the car can keep up with the readings, but when you punch it, that's when the delay happens? I am not a tech by any means, but fluids seem like a longshot...
Good luck!!

The air filter/intake system you can certainly check yourself. Take a quick look to see if anything looks crooked or unlevel. Perhaps even take the filters out and re-seat/install everything yourself. Thirty mins of work while you painstakingly wait until Weds...
Also, I'd think getting your car scanned at the dealer would be covered under your insurance repair, i.e. you can claim that the car is not driving normally as it was pre-accident. Sorry, I forgot the details of your accident so assume that there was some work done under the hood if it was in the shop so long...

I've never had this issue in either one of my C-Classes but when I had my 90 Talon TSi I had a similar issue and it was because one or two, can't remember, were fouled horribly from it sitting while I recovered from back surgery, I'm still learning much about my C300, but maybe that could be an issue?
