Question Train Horn

Has enybody ever istalled a train horn on their car. There is a place here in Orlando that for $300 will install a train horn. One of the guys there has it on his Dakota and it sounds sick. Its great for scaryng the heck out of whoever cuts you off or gets in your way.


WES, are you able to get a hold of this product and install it? What would be the price? I would be interested.

The real 140db klaxon horns cost a fortune and are a few feet in length. You would have to mount that thing on your roof not to mention the amount of compressed air it would require to operate properly.

I have twin Italian air horns (same as Ferrari) and they are fabulous, about $22 from Autobarn. No air tanks, ust a small electric compressor and some tubing. If I had a truck, I would consider a train horn but you might seriously violate some noise ordanances (not of course around the tracks) but in many neighborhoods. This would be louder than a Concorde which was not allowed to fly across the US.

I'm totally convinced that's an awesome mod, though I'd just shove it in the trunk and use it to piss of tailgaters and those people who just don't stop at stop signs

Sorry to put damper on

You will be sought after by the local police, just inquire with authorities.
Train horns are exceptionally LOUD! (probably blow out the trunk, back seat, or window, if installed in the trunk)

I know we all have been cut off and no one pays attention to car horns anyway

Check the web for train horns there are articles about cars with TRAIN horns that have caused accidents and have been liable.

Just put various LEGAL car horns on (sound like major traffic jam).

Unfortunately in Calif. there are sound limits on vehicle horns, just check and see what you can buy in your local auto parts store. You can buy air horns that are more noticeable then the average car manufacture. Try a salvage yard for "Caddie" horns.......they are legal.

(I would love to have a 5 note Leslie train horn for the truck, couldn't afford the air tank and compressor to drive the monster)

Just an FYI not trying to start anything,
Tom

You are correct that they are definitely illegal in CA...on anything other than a diesel locomotive.

Well I am sure they are illegal, but so is speeding. I had a huge set of three air horns on my Escalade with the air tank and the whole nine yards. I had to remove the spare tire underneath the truck to get them to fit. I loved them and have tried about every way possible to get them on the 300c but its just not happening. I had them hooked up on a diff switch so I still had my regular horn. The girls always seemed to like to blow that horn---lol. I have been looking for just a single horn, but am afraid they wont be as loud.

I imagine these are nowhere near as large, as loud, or as intimidating as a *REAL* train horn, nah they just sound kinda like it and are surprisingly loud.

That said, probably still illegal.
