Yep a plastic shopping bag will definitely do it. If one flys under your car while you're driving it will get stuck on the hot exhaust pipe and smell for days.

word... make sure you're not leaking any fluids on to the cat. coverter or any other exhaust parts.

ha, that sucks, first time ive ever seen that happen. you could always take off your exhaust and burn the bag off... it might not be the wisest advice but it would be a lot easier.
ah man why me!!!1 lol

Re: (R18_believer)
It's going to be pretty hard to get it all off. It happened to me before with my '99 civic and I just left it there. The smell will eventually go away after it all burns to a crisp. I didn't really care because I was running a stock exhaust at the time.
