Fluggie: I find it hard to belive so many folks would actually spend money for such a useless piece of junk. To start with, if exhaust system is tight, and if just being parked outside over night, you will never get enough water down the stack to affect the engine in any way, unless you have wind deflections. You think about it even a 3" rainfall , wouldn't fill the low points in the manifold.

If your going to park the tractor for days, weeks or months at a time, surely you could remember the soup can. I farmed for a good number of years, never put a tractor in during the work season, never covered an exhaust for just overnight. Yes I did cover them if parked for a few days. Standard equipment in tool box of every tractor I have, is a soup can. Reading discussion on these forums, I know I got well above average hours of service between engine rebuilds.

Regardless of which way you install that it can catch on tree limbs. You can also break muflers, exhaust pipes and even manifolds this way. The whole automotive industry be it cars, trucks or tractors has seen a lot of cost increase due to gadgets for stupid folks.
