Experiencing a bad smell from a large plastic bag which become wrapped around and burnt onto the exhaust pipe. It has been there for a couple of months and still emits an odor.
Any suggestions ?

Are there any LONG steep grades you could blast up at 70+ mph with your foot deep in the throttle?
None I'm afraid,....it took about 6months for the HD chaff bag to melt/burn off my muffler in an old Dodge.

Take it to a muffler shop, im sure they have had the problem often and can scrape or grind it off
Remove the bag?
Its impossible. The plastic melts onto the muffler and forms a stuck-on coating.

Depends which kind of plastic bag it was. Some bags will dissolve when exposed to gasoline. (Just be sure the muffler is cool.)
