Stacks with rain flappers

Anyone know a vendor that sells a kit for stacks that include the rain flapper at the top? All I can find is vendors that sell straight cut, turn-outs, and miter cut.

What he said. Or take a look in my gallery and see what I did. I didn't like the flapper idea.

If you want the flappers, because you want flappers, cool, get em.

But if you are doing it just because of the rain, then you dont need them. Just drill an 1/8" hole at the bottom of the pipe at a low point.

I just dropped the the end of the flexpipe that connects to the 90 about a half an inch lower that the pipe coming from the front. Added a short pipe between the Y and the 90 to connect them. Then drilled an 1/8 in hole in the bottom of the 90 to let it drain and haven't had a problem blowing rain out of the stacks.

Personal preference, I guess... but flappers ruin the look, IMO.
Don't see them anywhere much anymore.

I change mine out from time to time from turnout to flappers, also somethin to think obout if it would bother you is with flappers the top of ur cab gets pretty sooty, doesn't bother me personally, actually come to think of it anyone who would put flappers on their truck probly wouldn't care.

I am running rain caps, i like the look and it diffrent from everyone else. I had coffee cans for a little but they were a pain after a while. It got old messin with them, i was not a really big fan of runnin around the truck tryin to put the cans on or tryin to take them off if it was already rainin. So i put rain caps on it, i like the look and its a lot easier. Ill try to find some pics of them,i think i have some. i think i only spent like 25 bucks to put them on, they are not expensive.
