Even though they are called "Rain Caps" I agree, they do a lousy job of keeping rain out the the exhaust pipe. But there's HUNDREDS of other places rain can get into the guts of a tractor and do harm, and nobody here has mentioned that. I run stainless steel straight pipes on both my FARMALLS. Now just keep your opinions to yourself, I don't care what anyone else thinks. I also have a Stanley muffler for each tractor that is too tall to get in or out of my shop door, that's why the shorter stainless pipe. The rain cap does do a good job of holding the heat in the exhaust manifold and cylinder head. Nothing like a cold draft of air to shock the exhaust valves and warp them. Guy that does my engine machine work is only about 20 miles from the Osh Kosh Air-Venture airport. He told me in one week he reground the valves in one old 1920's vintage plane 5 times because the exhaust ports were so very short, you could see the orange exhaust valves in the running engine, but they cooled so fast when shut off they warped too bad to let the engine start. The straight thru IH mufflers really didn't hold much heat in the manifold & head either.
