fix or not?

My car got damaged after the accident, other party hit from rear. Mufflers drop lower and will scrash on the group through indent areas. car makes noise too if I stop or start. I think it is due the mufflers.

it is Mazda 6 with 68.000 miles. book price is about $8500. At the beginning the insurance said it wasn't repairable. The second day they said it would be fixed for $5200.I guess they must negciate with the shop? if the repair cost is nearly car value and I choose not to repair, the shop will get nothing? if I take car back, will shop be angry since they put labor on it? Insurance used to give me $2500 only, will they pay me the difference this time?

Do you think it should be repaired? or I should save the money and drive it the way it is? The driving is very soomth on highway. I commute a lot to work and also have a minivan at home. But the gas is too expensive if I drive 80 miles per day.

Any advice? This is first time I am dealing with this situation. Thank you!
