Default dixie horn in my truck

last night me and my buddy got bored and rigged up the dixie horn in my truck it was tough to find a decent spot under the hood to put it inbut i got rid of the air intake hose and made some room (im going to buy a filtered air breather and an open element air cleaner) the compressor should be mounted straight up and down but the oil will drain down the horns should be straight down but again limited space didnt allow it. but all in all its in it works and it makes people smile when i play it so it does what its supposed to. here are some pics and a video

new in box wolo musical air horn bought off amazon for about $50 with free shipping

I'm a yank, but that's still pretty sweet.

How loud would you say it is? I was thinking of replacing my stock horn with a similar cheapie air horn setup, although mine won't be whistlin dixie.

I'm gonna pick up a top mounted semi horn for my '92... I wanted a train horn but I'm pretty sure those might be illegal
