I ended up safety wiring that j pipe so there is now some tension on it so hopefully it will not be able to come out again. But in the future if a mechanic need to take that pipe out he can just cut the wire.

I am just glad know one including myself had an off course excursion.

So, I'm still having trouble confirming whether or not I'm missing a cover. Please look at these pics, and see if you have the same exposed lines on the driver and pax undersides. On the pax side, there's one set of lines exposed, but on the driver's side, there are two sets. I think I'm missing a cover on the driver side, but uncertain. These pics are taken from the front of the car.

The PET that I have shows a slightly different configuration of covers, so can't tell from there.

on the pass side, mine looks the same.. two lines near the rocker panel are exposed. On the drivers. side, there is a cover in two or three pieces. I knocked that sucker off when I went sideways thru a gravel trap at 80 MPH. I got a replacement at a dealer. I can't find the invoice for the part #, sorry. Kyle

So, you're saying my driver's side does look like it's missing one cover?

2005 996 GT3 North America Spec for comparison.

OK, mines the same. One set of exposed lines on the pax side, 2 sets on the driver's side. So, not missing anything. Thanks

Glad to help.

I can confirm this is indeed how it's supposed to be. Caught me by surprise the first time I was looking under there.

The last cover closest to the transaxle (directly in front of it) looks like something should be attached to it also, but I've yet to see a GT3 with something screwed onto that piece either...

Mine is the same as this photo. There is a cover over the back half of these 4 lines on the driver's side. The piece in back is what I broke off.
