it's not condensation from the AC, it's from the exhaust itself, most cars in good health do the same.

My 2016 does the same thing. In fact when I did my R8C, they had a cloth under the exhaust pipes as they said they get tired of cleaning up the floor!

Are we talking about condensation dripping from the exhaust pipe at the rear or condensation dropping on the exhaust pipe at the front?

I thought it was about dripping from the exhaust pipe at the rear.

Since the question mentioned AC condensation I figured he meant the condensation from the AC evaporator, which would be towards the front of the car, rather than the normal condensation out the back of the exhaust tailpipe.

you are correct ...the dripping is from near the front ..not the tail pipe..so this is normal ..? poor design ...I hope that is the issue..

As long as it is clear water, not a problem.

By evaporating it as it drips out, it probably helps to prevent your car from looking incontinent when you park it.
