You have got to get a train horn. I'm a long haul trucker and lots of us have train horns on our trucks. I wanna put one on my soon-to-get Tahoe. Get a train horn and scare the crap outta people just to see their looks.

at kragen or auto zone. they are like $10-$12 it is in the right front of your car you have to take off the little black pannel from the bottom in front of your right front tire.

A relative of mine installed one in his truck and it was huge. Don't know how one would fit in our engine bay. If I remember correctly, it was the size of two 1-gallon containers of milk stacked on top of one another.

Anyone have any links or info on these?

To get a horn as loud as the train horn, you'll need a compressed air type of setup, which isn't practical on our cars.

I say get one that plays dixie.
