I was driving at night the other day and there was a platic piece on the road that I ran right over. I didn't think anything of it because it was just simply a piece of plastic. THEN, a day later, i come out and i see that the plastic got wrapped around the left exhaust tip and was MELTED on the tip!. I got most of what i could out but the plastic is hardened on the tip. Question is, how do I properly get the rest of the plastic off?

Should I get a heat gun, melt the plastic, and try to wipe it off as it is melting? Input plz ...

 

same thing happened to me but on my cat.. i pulled off what i could but three wekks later i still smell it .. its less and less everytime .. hopefully it goes away soon i hate that plastic burnt smell ..

 

it melted on, so I'm sure you could melt it off. That's the best I can think of.

 

It should burn itself off...

 

yea, maybe that orange **** goo gone or something?

melt that b1tch off

 

dayam, iono if i should drive around and let it melt itself off?! or try to melt it off with heat gun and scrape it off as i go. I just dont want to mess up the IMPUL exhaust

 

Update: So i drove for like 45mins and then tried to get the plastic off and most of it came off but there's still a good bit on it. What sucks is that the plastic took some of the finish of the exhaust off with it. Gotta try to get the rest off with a heat gun or something. Any other ideas to get plastic off metal?

 

I woul think maybe a puddy knife with tape wrapped around the tip and a heat gun
