Default Does anyone have any train horns?

Ive been looking around and thought of getting some trainhorns. I went by a truck store and they have a dodge 2500 and he has a set of horns on it, and i didnt know if any of you have horns like that on your truck and what your experience was with them. and if you guys have any what type and how much did they run you?

I have air horns in mine, it sounds more like a boat than a train, but what do you expect for $25. I have a seperate switch for it. I keep telling myself that ill wire it to one of the horn buttons someday.

I know i may still sound like a kid but im 19. I asked my mom for a set that i saw that was 440$ and it has three horns a air tank and all the hardware. I was wondering if it was worth getting. They look like they would be so much fun to have especially since i live in florida and have all the snowbirds that dont know how to drive here. (no offense for ppl up north.) but if your going to come here dont drive slow.

Get it, thats cheep. The good big horn setups usuially run about 1k for everything. Id get one, except they are quite heavy, so I went with the 3lb plastic nonsense.

i guess this might sound sarcastic, but the cheepest thing to do would be open headers? A full exhaust is the best cash : power sofar. weight reduction is free though.

i had air horns on mine that my ssiters got me for christmas last year. they were really high pitched but sounded awesome combined with the stock horn it would scare a lot of peopple. but my compressor went out on me, and i realized the other day that one of my horns is gone! i guess the screw rattled loose when on the highway or something. but it was fun i wanna get another set!
