That is so funny you brought this up. I was actually considering on getting an air horn due tot he crappy drivers out here who do not know who has the right of way.

I'll admit that I was chuckling at the videos until the "Jesus Loves You" one. That guy needs a good spanking.

I was telling the neighbor about that yesterday and had him rolling. The best one is when he does it to the officer checking his turn signals in the front of the car lol

You know thats fake right?

Theres a place about an hour from me that sells hornblasters kits. I wanted to see if I could find a spot for the horns. They make a kit where each horn can come off the manifold so you dont have to try and fit all of them in the same spot. Honestly their kits are so expensive. Theres a ton of other kits on ebay for less than 1/2 of the price that im sure will work just as good. Any train horn kit you get will be loud.

In front of the radiator seems like the best place but what do you attach them to?

Oh yah, more than likely but either way it was great with the guy holding the camera going "Don't be a pussy..."

those vids are funny as hell, personally i wouldnt get a train horn but its still funny as hell.

we should try to stay on topic here, that why i hate forums. they always go toward another subject instead of starting another topic like lets say, train horns.

Lighten up, atleast it didn't turn into a flame war.

browsing for horns.,,,, which would you guys think would be louder?

something like the above horns? with the 2 trumpets.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts-Ac ... 0232861399&

or something like this be just as loud?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts-Ac ... 0232862876&

also when you install the trumpets do you need to use the relay they come with?, or just disconnect old horn and reconnect new trumpet horns little compressor?..

Post by **racer12306** » Wed May 28, 2008 7:40 pm

it would probably be best to use the relay. they could pull a lot more power than a stock horn and potentially fry the wiring.

cgneon · Post by **cgneon** » Wed May 28, 2008 7:47 pm

doesnt the stock horn go through a relay or am i mistaken?, or are you saying its not strong enough of a relay and to replace it with the one that comes with the air horns? ive never wied up a relay so im sure if i get the horns i'll be askin more questions..

Post by **racer12306** » Wed May 28, 2008 7:49 pm

I think the horn does go through a relay, but I don't know what it would be rated at.
