A/C Drain Location
Can anyone help me locate where the A/C drain exits?
I'm thinking mine is plugged.
Thanks!

If my memory serves me right they are under the car in the transmission tunnel. One on each side, above to the left and right of the trans. The water usually drips on the trans shift linkage on the trans. look there and then up. The other side hose outlet looks the same. Good luck

Folks, thanks for the feedback.
The reason why I'm asking is that I'm getting a really funky smell coming out of my vents that isn't from leaking freon (my A/C guy confirmed) and doesn't really smell stinky like mold. Tough to describe it but it's very noxious smelling.
I don't get a whole lot of condensation so want to check my drains.
MBtech1098, can you describe the carpet removal a little better?
By the way, I've got some extra SuperBike parts from my Ducati days. PM me if you're interested.

Where the little black vents are, that are held in by the quarter turn plastic screws...remove those vents, and just pull the carpet back. You'll see a black tube held on by a white plastic hose clamp, remove the clamp, and you can check your drain.
As far as superbike parts I'm running a 1098 track bike...so if you have anything for that let me know...though I've already done a bunch of upgrades, and that duc is track only. If you got anything else that may work with an st2 as well I'm all ears.

I checked under my car and the drains are working ok.
But still trying to find out what the heck the smell is.
Like I said before, it's not Freon and don't think it's mold. It's not a musty smell. Smells almost a bit like solvent. It only smells for a minute or two.
Any idea's?
