That way if water does get into the cups, you wont be able to see it until it leaves a rust trail.

That looks like a Fernco plumbing pipe adapter. Home Depot and others carry them: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Fernco-4-in- ... ctc7hYZGj4

You'd just need to find the appropriate size.

I think they would trap too much water and lead to rust-out.

No clue I just found the picture with no info and remembered this thread :wink:
Looks like Paul has it right and I agree it would be even more of a trap

Just knowing it is not a true vehicle part and can be gotten at any plumbing store is a good indicator of the possibilities. Going to have to
make a split boot kind of thing anyway.
