This happens a lot with motorcycles, so I have some experience.

You can do two things.

The first is nothing and just let it burn off, which may take some time.

The second is to use spray oven cleaner, the nasty kind that you don't want to get on your skin.

If you opt for the oven cleaner, be really careful you don't spray it on anything else other than the exhaust because it's very corrosive. It will very effectively remove that burnt plastic, however.

Someone else also stated that a paint scraper with the car running could work... just don't touch the exhaust.

what I found on another forum... Try the oven cleaner... gonna have the smell for a while it seems.
