try Autoglym metal cleaner or Brasso to get the stain off, and a wire brush.

If yours is a sebring mate i'd watch using anything too harsh on it. The exhaust is made out of stainless steel, but the tailpipes are chromed, meaning if you scratch it too much it'll just go through the chrome and wont keep the same shine as it had before, i've done it at the bottom of my exhausts where they went a bit black. Try some brasso or chrome cleaner and keep rubbing hard, i'm sure any stains should come out
