[slimx]

Ok guys .. there was this plastic bag like last week that got stuck under my car i dno wat was on it.. i musta picked it up on a high way or sumfn.. anyway i rippd much as i could off coz it seems to be stuck on there with some brown shit... maybe its melted on i dno ?..

and i waited i figured maybe the rest will come off later. i tried using a pressure cleaner.. to rip it off, mind u this pressure clean can rip off paint.. yet it sitll didnt come off..

What do i do ? loll
fkn plastic bag stuck under my car.. i ripped asm uch i can off the rest is lyk really thick.. and it just pulls the entire exhaust.. i think its on the uh ..

cat converter?

most likely on the cat.


Happened to me as well, just rip off as much as you can and it would eventually burn the plastic still on it.

Just have to live with the burnt smell for a few weeks

[flipfire]

try scape it off when its hot just dont burn yourself

yea try scrape it off, or you could always get some sandpaper and sand it all off...

if its a stock system just spray some high heat primer on afterward either way
it wont rust to destruction till like 5 years+ lol

^^ Yeah,good one,sand it off when it's cold!

same thing happend to me, i left bubble wrap on the floor of my garage and it melted onto my exhaust. It stunk of burning plastic for AGESSSSSSSS lol till i got a new exhaust haha

shouldnt take too long to burn off, cats can reach temps of around 800 deg im pretty sure, and fast.

same thing happened 2 me. smell reeks, but i was too lazy to get under and scrape it off, drove it around for a few weeks with the smell, it slowly disappeared. my car was low aswell, sometimes i'd scrape over ridiculous speed humps, then that got some of it off 2 lol

[he-tec]

or you could just upgrade to a mugen exhaust and save the hassles

[slimx]

n shit out money lol.

I'll try giving it a scrape..

so better to do while its HOT or COLD ?? coz it fkn stinks lol.

and no not stock, appears to be aftermarket. its all new n shit.. think old owner had exhaust system installed.. i got no leaks either. had it checked n shit lol a 20 yr old car with no exhaust leak is hard to believe. so im gona assume its new..

scrape when hot, then once cold peel as much off as possible, and then let the rest melt and drop off.
it shouldn't take too long.

man u know what i'd do. buy a new cat lol. saves u time man.

or grab a chisel and a hammer and tap tap tap on to it when cold it should come off. or a wooden chisel
