Default Plastic Bag Under Z....?

I got home from work and smelled like a burning plastic like smell... i looked around the car, then it hit me that it could be a bag under my car. sure enough about three quaters of the way down my exhaust there it was. i got off as much as i could a couple of hours later, because it was hot, with some plyers by just reaching my arm underneath as long as i could, ya i have long arms. there are still some pieces on there, none bigger than a penny, will they just eventually burn off? this has never happened to me before.

yes, it'll burn to a point where it'll stop smoking and smelling. However, it will leave a nice black, cruddy area on the exhaust.

I had one so bad underneath that it took forever to burn off. Even after I removed all I could.

Now I avoid plastic bags like crazy haha
