My horn used to sound pretty gay. Turned out that one of the two horns was busted. Replaced, and it sounds acceptable again.
Nowhere near a train-horn, but it'll get peoples attention without them bursting out in laughter.

their stuff is funny as hell... go to the video section... good times...

I plan on getting one of their setups one day... the $500 is a little hard to swallow for a setup like that though...

I contacted them and this is the kit they recommend for our cars...

They recommended a 3 gallon kit for our cars? Where are we going to install it, in the hatch?

I think they tried to upsell you!

I wish they had one that was just the amplified sound, and not the authentic horn. It would take little room. ****, imagine if you could upload a sound or song to a flash drive or miniSD card, and have it amplified and play when you pushed the horn.

i just put train horns on my truck...they are loud as hell. I have 2 viair 480 air compressors, a 12 gallon air tank, and a set of Nathan K3LA horns...the same horns that union pacific and a bunch of other trains use. I had a hard tiome fitting them in a crew cab long bed pickup, i doubt they will fit in an f body lol

I'm not worried about horn fitment... there's plenty of places in the front bumper area to mount the horns... it's the air tank that we would have to get imaginative with...

the air tank/compressors would fit in the t-top area of the trunk

btw i have seen those horn blasters kits and similar ones...they are louder than a stock horn, but not that loud.

I say forget the horn idea in genral, rip the p.o.s. out for weight reductions and get an exhaust setup similar to mine! LT's, high flow cats, tru duals with no mufflers! believe me when i rev at people they gtfo of my way and i'm pretty sure its louder than a train horn so the ability to scare the **** outa people is still there BTW train horns are for rednecks in lifted trucks!
