i love all the youtube videos of 'hornblasters'

[rotorwerks]

pretty funny, not gonna lie

[Flavo Cadillac]

probably a stupid question but that's illegal right?
I was thinking of just getting something like the horns from the hella triple and running it off of the tank. It's hard to say how loud this stuff actually is w/out hearing it in person. I know I really liked my hella dual horns.

[tomespo]

I would think it has to be illegal. I wouldn't try running those plastic Hella horns on that much psi I would just get the one I have from Kevin@aac it's so worth it

[Flavo Cadillac]

Yeah but only as a goof? I want a horn I can actually use.

[tomespo]

Why woulnt you use it? Just don't hit it around a cop

[vwnthusiast]

i dont have videos of mine, but i need to get it from my bro

edit**

That was the whole thing about not being able to hear it in person. For me personally I think I might find the sound obnoxious> No way to tell w/out spending the cash 1st

[FastAndFurious]

Does anyone have instructions (mainly wiring) how to install one with a seperate switch, i would like to add this but have a seperate switch for this horn

[tomespo]

All you need to do is get a switch put power to it then run the ground and power wires from the horn the switch

[eastcoaststeeze]

It's just a matter of running a relay; it's probably not a good idea to run the power you need to open the solenoid through a $2 Radio-Shack switch.

Ground pin 85
Run power to your switch and then to pin 86
Run power from the battery through a fuse to pin 30
Run pin 87 to the solenoid
Ground the other terminal on the solenoid

That's all we did on mine; Danny (chromedomewookie) hid the horns behind my bumper and hid the switch under door's armrest.

[tomespo]

damn santi that **** must be loud. i should have taken a pic of mine when the bumper was off but i had to mount them on the pass side because my fmic pipe was in the way and they still barely fit the longest one from the 3 sticks out of the grill vent to i had to trim the grill insert like crazy haha

[DubPhreek]

hmm, Air horn is a need.

I used to have a triple hella airhorn, small compressor..

We're rigging a Westfalia with a air ride system of some sort (undecided) thinking if I'm usin a compressor and I have tons of already tanked air... which the air horns will need.. can I rig my air-ride system to open a valve, and fire the air horns??

woohaaaah. moooove _itch getoutta my waaaaaaay.

thats the way its done anyways, correct?
Rig a valve, some airline and a switch and you got an air horn
Now if you're talking about rigging it in w. a valve to a bag, i guess you could but that means everytime you air up the bag itll go off.

does anyone in NY know if it is illegal to have the air horn as your primary horn?

The reason i ask is because 10-18 wheelers have them as their primary horns unless there are different regulations between commerical and industrial vehicles.

i was talking to a trucker who told me they can get tickets for their air horns because they have the potential to scare other motorists and cause an accident..

but just dont beep near cops and you'll be ok

i was more worried about inspection, either way thanks for the heads up.
I went to the DMV website for NY and under the horn inspection description all it says: is it securly mounted and does it work.

[tomespo]

Put a kleinn quad horn in my friends s10 blazer tonight and after having it installed for maybe 2 hours he got a ticket haha. ill be wiring up a switch to mine tomorrow.

[Henni]

My horns that I will be installing are not as outrageous as you everyone's on here.

I pulled mine from our old 1972 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. They are the metal FIAMM's The compressor is the size of a coke can. Small but pretty effective. I haven't gotten them on the car yet, but plan to do it when it warms up.

Lawl and grenade might be optional for the car.....

[tomespo]

well my friends kleinn 141 didnt last long, wasnt loud enough so now he has a 230 train horn from kleinn.
