It had set but i scraped it all off before i started the engine. It was quite hard to scrape but it was coming off in thin strips. Confused

My bet is a plastic bag that has blown onto the hot bits and melted stuck.

Melted plastic on exhausts is pretty darn annoying. Drove past mcdonalds the other day, saw one of those plastic mcdonalds bags floating in the road. Got home and it was stuck to my downpipe Mad

Smelt horrible as well. Still haven't managed to get all of the black crusted remains off Thumbs Down
