AOS Failure - need for exhaust system cleaning?

Drove a few miles around town with a few Pcar owners yesterday. My mate, who also has a 986, had his AOS blown up on the freeway. I was driving right behind him..... when it happened the world completely disappeared around me, thick white smoke everywhere, I had to hit the brakes and hit the hazard light asap (very scary stuff).

His rear bumber was covered on oil so I'm guessing his exhaust system is full of oil as well.

Everyone says that once fixed, the oil will eventually burn and the exhaust system will be just fine. I am the only one to think that the exhaust system has to come out and go for cleaning (cat converters, muffler etc).

What do you guys recommend?
