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.

 

ok thats what i hoped for, i think im going to order a different one.

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.

 

Yeup!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOGA!

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.

 

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.

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.

 

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

 

site not workin for me midi, anyone else?

 

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):
