do i need an air compressor to run these? or does this come with everything i need?

That silver cylinder looking thing is your "compressor." Good to go.

*Careful who you honk at, air horns are insane! I love em, saved me on more than one occasion.

i have air horns....they are a PITA to install because you have to mount everything..

i had to fab up a bracket for the compressor.. i had to drill the fender well and i hate drilling the body parts

they are loud tho

They are cake to install on a 3rd gen. I just pulled the grill and had more than enough room to work with - including an existing mounting spot.

Exactly! They are cake to install plus it sounds so cool.

Anybody can have an air horn!

These air horns kick ass. I have 2 sets of them in my ride, as well as the stock ones. It is rediculously loud. I highly recommend everyone gets them. They are actually really easy to install. Just takes some time. It is amazing how often you will find yourself honking with these. Its a nice stress reliever.

Ever get a ticket for excesive use of horn? I use my horn too much..whenver i hear another car honk...i honk back...when im bored...when i want somebodys attention, when i see people walking...if im waiting at a light, and im bored...when i fly past another car(i love that dolpler affect!)

I want the whole train horn kit...500 bucks and you got yourself enough horn to let everybody within a 4 mile radious that you mean buinsness.

v8sport4runner

No, no tickets thankfully. I would love to have some train horns. I just cant justify spending that much for horns. I would do a lot of other things to my runner first for what it would cost. But for a set or two of the HF ones, you cant beat the fun-for-dollar.

my brother got a ticket for using his horn too much $49.

Save the train horn mod for when you plan on climbing the Lion's Back.

I installed some of the long plastic horns like that. They are loud, when testing in the garage a spider happened to be crawling across the floor and he curled up into a ball with every blast

Make sure to point them down if they're exposed to rain/snow.

And personally, I didn't think my air horns were THAT loud. These FIAMM horns I have are just as loud, if not louder, than the air horns I had (which were also FIAMM, triple-horn set). Plus, they sound better, in my opinion.




Yeah, yeah, crappy wiring job, I know...

Hey there guys!

yeah i'll just go ahead and say that the train horns were the best $250 i've ever spent!

i got the 152db set through ebay and am VERY impressed with them.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6763

now I will say that they were about 2x the size I thought they were when I got them and the problem I have had is finding a spot to mount them....they ended up in my tool box, but trust me they are still wicked loud.
I'll send anyone an e-mail with a picture of how I mounted them if your interested, but yeah crazy loud and well worth the money.

I am planning on changing how they are mounted as a group to having them single mounted underneath the truck as it'd be about 2x louder I think. Things to do on a MUCH cooler weekend.

Mason Dixon

definitely keep us updated.....also, are they as loud as the hornblasters video?

fireteacher

site not workin for me midi, anyone else?

midiwall

midiwall.com's been down for about a week, the domain fell out of DNS. This isn't the first time it's happend, but this is the longest. (this is why I haven't jumped into the revival of this thread and pointed to that page again)


It's a real pain for me having midiwall down... I get a LOT of email and _need_ it to deal with work and a number of pending things.

Once the domain comes back, and I grab everything I can from it, I'm switching ISPs. I've been with these guys for years, but I just can't tolerate being down like this.


Anyway... the message you quoted is pretty old, but the page is still there - I think. {insert crossed fingers}

Here's some pics of mine, they are in front of the gas tank (a 1 inch body lift makes this possible):
