I'm just curious not a huge problem, but when I put the A/C on in my car it smells like piss, is there any filters I could change or any suggestions?

Common problem-- mold and spores. i believe they purge your system, and you get a new dryer/filter/receiver. You can pour some crap somewhere to get it to go away temporarily. I forget where you add the lysol or whatever it is...

Why would changing the receiver/drier help? That keeps the moisture out of the INSIDE of the system.

There are sprays that can deodorize the evaporator coil. The way to prevent this is to switch your A/C back to the "FRESH" position before you shut down the car rather than leaving it in "REC." This opens up the outside air vent door and allows the condensation to evaporate from the evaporator housing.
