How much is a setup like that? I'd like to put one on my 2500HD. I've done a Google search for some but I would think quality counts. I've seen some for $200-300...is that about the correct range?

Hornblaster 4 Horn set w/Solenoid, distribution block, line fittings and 200psi line = $189

Firestone 5 Gallon/7 Port Air Tank = $49

ViAir 450c Compressor = $159

ViAir Pressure Switch Relay (110 on/150 off) = $17

Misc. Parts (pressure gauge, blow-off valve, airhose coupling, wiring, connectors, fuse holders, heatshrink, etc.) = $20

I got the K3's for $400 shipped, which is actually pretty good cause they usually bring in around $550-$600

To put it in perspective, the K3's at only 80psi and 1/4" inlet are about 3 times louder than the HB 4-Horn set at 150psi

I can't wait till I have them fully installed with a 3/4" line and 150psi

LOL

Why go to streetfire when you can go directly to hornblasters.com and download ALL 5 versions of the HB vids?

Anyhoo, I got my first set of horns from Matt at HB about a week after seeing those vids
