Dave:
No way am I going to argue with the experts on this list which includes a TAC
inspector, and not having my car handy to look and see if it has that very same
hole, but on this car in question, that's a mighty big hole for a small exhaust
pipe, and it looks like it has seriously weakened the X beam because the hole's
location is so close to the top of that section.

Maybe that IS the Alpine ex pipe hole, and some previous owner enlarged it?

You're not talking about the speedo access hole on my late MKiA's left
rail.
Placed perfectly to allow a very long socket + extension to reach the
speed drive gear and hold down bolt. Changing the gear is simple.
Finding the 15 tooth drive gear is the issue.

You asked:
" The one question I have is about the hole through the rear rail to
the left (driver's side) of the left exhaust bank near the drive shaft. That is
something I do not recognize and don't know its function. Any ideas?"
It looks like an ill-advised access hole in a stressed member to make
installing the speedo cable easier....
