AaronM Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 My old horns on my car stopped working. So, I tested to see if there was any power running to them. They still had power! Instead of just buying new horns, I decided to buy a set of air horns, haha! That was a fun project! I had to wire them all up and mount them. The kit came with a mini air compressor to power them. I will try to take a little picture of the setup later. It is very ghetto! I used probably twenty zip ties, haha. I didn't want to drill into anything to mount them. Installation took about two hours. I had to figure out how to wire up the relay correctly. If I had to do it again, I could probably cut the time in half. The new horn sounds pretty cool! It sounds like a semi truck, just a little higher pitched. It is rated at 135+ dB I might go back and buy a set of the original horns as well and install those too. Watch out! Total cost was about $20. $15 for air horn from eBay and $5 for wire and connectors.

vantasticdude Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 The only thing I don't like about kits like yours is the "wind-up" as the horn comes on . I prefer my work trucks instant blast when I pull the cable . If I ever figure how to run a real compressor of my serpentine belt I'm putting a set of the "train" horns on my Caddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
