Find a comparable brand of replacement exhaust and try to get your adjuster to add it to the total, plus the cost of installation. They're usually only required to pay for the vehicle to be brought back to the condition it was in before the accident, so they may only be willing to meet you part way and pay a reduced percentage for the used value of your old exhaust.
Also, don't settle until the exhaust is actually installed, and make sure the insurance company pays for that and sees it through until it's on the car. They may try to just give you a check to order it and take care of installation on your own. You don't want to get under there (or have a shop get under there) and discover that it won't fit because there's other damage under the car that your current body shop is trying to avoid having to fix.
