I recently had this happen here in California, so not sure if CT is different. They other person's insurance had to return my car to the prior condition meaning my aftermarket parts were replaced with the same item so I got new Tom's tail lights and a new rear Cusco tow hook. I could get my exhaust used cheap so I asked to be cashed out for the price of the OEM unit and just took the money to buy another one.
Considering they don't make it anymore and you don't have anything showing what you paid that is one of your few options left. Does the body shop not subcontract exhaust work then? It should be common enough that they can have a different shop take a look since they don't do that kind of work.
