Right, this sounds really ridiculous but there is some sort of hair stuff coming out the end of my exhaust?!

Any ideas?

Sorry the cars not parked at home just now so can't go and check/get pics, sorry!

Yea, no joke.

It could be silencing material coming out of the exhaust baffles, but then the exhaust would rattle about like hell because it would have to be damn rusty for that to happen...

Yea, will be some kind of fuel contamination, most likely to be sugar. Has your girlfriend spit up with you recently? This is what women do apparently.
