Those are used to keep water out of the exhaust. If your truck sits for some time without being run the exhaust will fill with water and rust certian parts of the engine. I think most people use them to look and sound cool now. :roll:

Called a rain cap. Keeps rain out. Rain caps are mostly used on farm tractors, and farm trucks that arent always inside.

because it can be finished in chrome ... and, of course, to make noise

Now that could be cool, especially if you could get it to spin going down the road. Methinks there could be a cool "Trick my Truck" episode involving those.
