Title: Air horns... ;)
Post by: 8v-of-fury on January 20, 2013, 11:10:20 pm

Looking for the best bang (or honk?) for my buck. I literally want it for those people.. you know those people? The people you want to run off the road.. Yeah those people.

Now, I'm not looking to spend $300 on a 200psi, 6 horn, tank in the trunk setup.. just $50 or so for a quality low tone air horn. Do they exist on ebay??

I got one of the little 3 horn Italian units out of a junkyard car, and mounted it to my pickup with a toggle switch.
Makes it way too easy to be an obnoxius ass.

If you want to spend about 150$ you can make your own train horn set up :P

my rabbit came with one installed i like it, but its not a deep tone or anything, it looks like a harbor freight unit, they cost about 15 bucks the last time i saw them in their catalogue.  very loud.  my brother likes to sneak up and hit it while im working on the car

I'd bet if you look hard enough you could find one off an old locomotive or semi for cheap...and rig up your own little compressor even

You got experience with that unit JC?

I bought one... Seems a few companies re-brand this unit. Mine was made in Italy.
Not deep tones, more like standard car air horns, Porsche 911 like.

http://www.wolo-mfg.com/air.htm (http://www.wolo-mfg.com/air.htm)    They say it's deep, but it's $70.    Gotta pay to play.

Most air horns that I've heard or used had the higher pitched euro sound.  I've used the cheapos and the Hellas... not much difference between them.
