I would go back to the body shop and complain. They got paid to complete the job correctly. Exhaust smell in the cabin indicates a leak.

Unless you can convince the insurance company that the cat damage was caused by the accident you are out of luck. Regarding the body work problems you should have a guarantee. You may also want to complain to your states consumer affairs office.
