Getting a new midpipe would help too.

RE: Melting Plastic Smell

It looks like I ran over a piece of plastic, nothing that major. Where do I get this acid from? Thanks again.

You can get anything at local hardware store. Go up there and tell them what you need.

RE: Melting Plastic Smell

Just let it burn off.Take the car on an interstate for a few miles and the plastic should be gone.Don't go near your car with anything corrosive.

RE: Melting Plastic Smell

just go under the car and scrap it off, cant be too hard to get off with somekind of poking/scrapping tool. (flat head screw driver, chizel, craw of a carpenters hammer.)
