Melted plastic bag on exaust G82
Hi guys,
Today I was driving my G82 and a plastic bag got stuck under the car and melted on the hot exaust. I tried to remove as much as I could but there is a small portion left completely melted to the pipe. When I stop I can smell the burnt plastic. Do you guys have any suggestions? |

There are exhaust cleaner and metal polish products that specifically used for cleaning exhaust surface. I would try those with a small brush to see if it can get those plastic off.

I would replace entire exhaust system with Akrapovic titanium system now. Only $6-$10k.

The rest will burn off and the smell will go away, soon enough. I remember the same thing happening 30-ish years ago under a badass AMG E-class - smelled horrible, then it didn't.

Use a heat gun to melt and wipe the rest off.
