Burning Bag

I got a bag stuck somewhere and its burning and smelling real bad!

I tried to avoid it, but after passing the bag, looking at the rearview, there was no bag and I said...."ohhh fu*k"

anyway how ta get rid of this bag? it happened to my brothers 230k before, he left it there and he said 2 weeks later, no smell.

yea, once the bag has melted it's a tough job removing it.. I say just tough it out until it's gone. 2 weeks should do it.

wow, this has never happened to me in my life until a few months ago with my C230k as well. that's strange. i ripped the bag off and left what was stuck until it burnt off. 2 weeks that was mentioned sounds about right.

Let the exhuast get hot, then come back while its still hot and still running and wipe it off with a rag. It comes off like butta! Had this problem with my dads car, but at least those were side pipes and we didnt have to go under the car.
