Heat exchanger drain

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if the gen 6 Camaro came out with a heat exchanger/intercooler drain plug? Nothing in the owner manual & can’t find anything about it on my searches.
Or what’s the best way to drain the system if there is no drain plug?
Thanks. Anthony.

If you have the stock HX, their is a drain plug on the bottom of the driver's side. Kind of hard to get too and believe the bumper needs to be pulled. I actually have a video on draining the system as well as setting up a drain point if you have an aftermarket HX with no drain plug.

Cool

Yes there is a drain on the Factory HX... this video shows the difference between my SCHX and the stock one with a capacity check showing the drain plug which I use in this video as a port for capacity check.

Ok, thanks I found it. I’m getting a C & R heat exchanger should I ask them to put a drain plug in?
