Possibly remnants/remains of a plastic bag. Not unusual.

 

yep.. that looks like a bag melted to your pipe. if it bothers you, you can use some oven cleaner or a razor blade mounted in a wall paper scraper. Oven cleaner wont get it all off, razor blade will scratch.

 

Judging by the nice look of the metal without the goo, I think you drive your car real easy. A track day should cook it up to more ash that can be rubbed off sort of like self cleaning oven.

I got a bag too; Watched it float off ground, then, the smell was unmistakable when I got out of the car a few minutes later. It took at least a month to go away, and I couldn't scrap it off.

I think laquer thinner might soften to scape off, but driving the car hard won't hurt exhaust, since its very good stainless steel, unlike a custom bent exhaust at a muffler shop.

 

+1
Plastic bag

 

I am going to say herpes

 

this

 

probably STD ....






jk.... +1 on plastics coz its common to get it stuck there if its hot and melt there ...

 

haha

true...i had thought that it was something melted on to it at first but wasnt sure...thanks!


Yep...i do drive it easy...its an AT...but i do drive it with the trip tonic...lately i been driving like a sissy lol...cause it vibrates too much and shuts down whenever i stop hard....and when im in first gear i press the gas all the way to maybe 4-6rpms before it makes a weird noise from the engine and kicks back like losing power....i need to change the spark plugs, so far thats what i know...my friends and i are going to the track pretty soon....hopefully this issue is resolved by then...thanks!



haha...
