Hey - Does anyone here have train horns in their truck? How do they sound? Where'd you put the compressor? I was lookin for air horns and saw these "train horns" that are apparently incredibly loud. Definitely something that would be cool to have lol.

 

i like you lol.

Train horns are beast, i heard one in of all things a crx. funniest thing i ever seen. i want some but they are rediculously expensive if you want real quality ones. wolo is the brand of my choice, their horn set is 400+400 for the tank and compressor, and then you gotta sit the tank in the bed and mount the horns on the engine side of the fender.

well worth it imo, if i had the cash.

 

Yea - The Wolo horns are really nice. I found a set on ebay that i was told sounded just as loud, and might be able to get the tank/compressor in the engine compartment, and the horns behind the middle of my front bumper. The set is made by Siege and apparently they make a pretty good product. The whole kit goes for like 300 bucks. I know about a year back my friend put a set in his ford for about 500 bucks, and those were ridiculous. You could hear him from a few miles haha. Definitely something cool to have in the truck! lol

 

search for a guys named Zeekxxx, he put real air chimes off a really train and mounted them under his bed were the spare tire goes and has the compressor in his bed tool box

 

I just went with regular ole Pep Boys air horns. Definately not a loud as train horns, but for 40 bucks, they work. Better than the stock horn that's for sure.

 

I don't have train horns but instead installed a set of Stebel
Nautilus air horns, rated at 139DB. I paid $40 for them.
Had to run some extra wire to get them hooked up but it
was no biggie.

I had some inattentive fool make a lane change in city
traffic, right in front of me last month. I hit the brakes
AND the horn button and barely missed him.

SUMMARY:
=======

Extra 16-ga. wire: $3.00

Air Horns: $40.00

Seeing that dork nearly snap his neck off after hearing
the air horns: PRICELE$$ [8D]

 

hornblasters.com they have some nice horns and some funny videos of them using it

 

hey is that horn really that loud? i want somethin that sounds like a firggin freight train, but $400 for horns...

 

those videos are so funny... damn, peoples reactions are out of control!!! lol

 

Yes, it is. I don't doubt that the guy ended up going to
a chiropractor. It DEFINITELY got his attention. You
can also install 2 or more of these on a vehicle. There
was a guy on Ebay that was selling them in pairs and
in sets of 3. Don't worry, I think one will suffice. At
$40, you can't lose.

Also, you can even run the factory horns with them.
BEEP! BEEEEP!!!
