I got the pep boys $30.00 jobbers. Install was fine, battery to supplied relay, from relay to horn stitch to ground and from relay to compressor to ground. Need about 20 feet of 12 gauge wire and some crimps. I like having my stock horn while having the toggle for those special occasions. I guess if you don't want your stock horn you could just unplug your horn and use those wires without having to use a relay and fishing wires through your firewall and up the dash.

They sound great for $30.00. I've heard better but for the money I'm not complaining. They are loud and get the point across.

yea, i installed the hella two-tones and love em!! nice pitch and good audible level. i think next will be the train air horn for those silly non-drivers who need to wake up.
i removed the factory horn, and saw hella two-tone replacement for the stocker.
nice install man!

It came with a compressor, no tank, just on and off.

On my way home tonight I was driving through west philly and this kid in a beater comes barrelin down the middle and tries to squeeze me. I layed on it and he backed in to his lane. A bunch of the locals were on the curb goin "dang thats a horn"! LoL.... This thing is fun!

That's what I did, unplugged my stock horn and used the wires. Hardly use my horn, but when I do.....you should see the person jump when I blast my horn! haha

this might be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyways. Is it legal to have an air horn as your only horn? I was going to buy one the other day when Harbor Freight had them at 50% off, but my buddy told me they were illegal. Any of you know if this is true?
