• 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

• 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.

• 320hz? Fairly low I'd say

• 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.
