One thing you can try is getting the mufflers hot again to melt the plastic (or trying a hair dryer or something), then scrape as much off as you can this way. Then there shouldn't be much left, just a residue, and you could use a metal polish to remove that.

You could also try to carefully chip/flake the plastic off if it seems like it will come off that way.
