Put my new car up on my 4-post lift for the first time the other day. Was admiring all of the underbody ducting and air management when I noticed a small, clear plastic tube protruding from the bottom of the car behind and inboard of the front passenger tire. It's like a thick, flexible drinking straw, and is fairly loose--it moves around in the opening it protrudes from, but seems to be attached at some point above. It's located in between two of the three air channels behind the front passenger tire, just in front of the jacking location. I asked another forum member to look on his car, but he doesn't seem to notice this piece on his GT3.
I suspect it might be a drainage tube for water management or A/C condensation, etc., but I'm wondering if it's supposed to be so prominent. Can anyone else confirm this on their car, or does anyone else have insight into its function?

Thanks for any help.
Whatever it is, I have it on my 991 RS as well.
Off topic, do you have a picture of the new oil tank that is now made of plastic? I’m curious how the engine area looks.
My vote is for AC condensation or the drain for gas overflow hole in the filler compartment. Easy enough test for the gas filler, just pour some water into the edge of it (not in the tank! LOL)
