New Air Horn Install
New Air Horn Install so im tired of my dinky horn im my 99 Z28, Im putting in a ocean liner horn 
hopefully people get the #!@% out of my way. would it be okay to tap into the stock horn wiring and just unplug the stock horns?
hopefully people get the #!@% out of my way. would it be okay to tap into the stock horn wiring and just unplug the stock horns? I am going to guess the answer is no. A larger horn means more decibels which in turn implies more current draw. If the wiring in the stock system is rated for X amps and you put X+1 amps through you will fry the wires and may even start a fire.
I did the install today, DAMN!! I love it!! I ended up keeping the stock horn and putting the air horn on a momentary button so I didnt have to blow every one away all of the time. Thanks for all the help, easy install, works great!!

I did everything in the front right area of the bumper, where the stock horns were. The compressor was difficult to mount but i put that more on the side in the same area. Apologize to everyone, I dont have any way to get a sound clip or vid 
its great, I can drive down the street and honk at someone half a block away when their pulling out of the driveway and theyll stop and look while i drive by 
easy install once i figured out where to put everything. dont take out the headlight, do it from underneath.

I put a Whelen Air Horn in my Cavalier.. Complete with PA, etc... Same thing the Police cars use... Definately gets attention but I imagine one which requires a compressor would be ALOT louder...

the box said ocean liner horn but after hearing a train horn the other day it does kinda sound like a train horn... still lond as hell though the compressor was about the size of a can of tennis ***** and the 2 horns are about the same size.

You can get those really cheap from JC Whitney too. Prices range from like $30 to a couple hundred And one of the cheaper ones is like 135 dB- thats not quiet... good for a budget blaster.
