Ah yes, melted plastic on the exhaust. Great smell, isn't it? 
I had it worse, a 20oz pop bottle got jammed between my Y-pipe and floorboard on my old WS6 while on the expressway years ago. By the time I was able to pull over, most of the bottle was melted to the Y-pipe. Looked bad, but smelled worse. Horrific smell actually....

Maybe use steelwool to get the residue off? And don't go near, or EVER park at any store ending in "Mart."

damn a 20z bottle thats crazy. yeah thats a horrible smell. at first i didn't know it got snagged, then i was sitting at a light and it smelled really bad and i was like what the hell, i thought my ceramic coating was melting off or something
. i got home and looked under my car and there it was all melted to the pipe and impossible to get off, i guess i will have to drive it to melt the rest of it off.

I've had two plastic bags that i've found on my car. One lodged itself in the front passenger side brake and the other melted onto the ory pipe and caramalized itself onto the pipe.
I now try to avoid those fuggin bags on the road.

Lol! I had the same thing happen to me last year! It was right after I did the push button starter mod too. I smelled the burning plastic and thought "**** man my wires are burning up!!!) I wheeled into a Tim Hortons parking lot, hit the break with two feet and starting ripping the knee panel out as fast as I could. Good thing it turned out to be the bag I never did get it all off though. Ditched the Y pipe this year for the TSP catted Y.

before i got the LM welded up, i got a bag stuck on the clamp that connected the driver side pipe to the rest of the system, doing like 50 and then out of nowhere, you could hear that thing fluttering around, hit it up to about 70 and the bag tore off
