Wouldn't mind a set of those myself.

 

I know for a fact a 92 Buick Roadmaster has a SWEET ASS horn. Maybe swap horns with that.

It is very train like in sound but not the same dBs, I like it.

 

dont buy this horn,its the same as ours,bought it put it on,only to realise its no louder,went and checked the model number and it is the same

 

my buddy has a trucker horn on his deisel truck he just disconnected his reg horn and plug in the truckker horn.. DO THAT

 

Yeah, that's more along the lines of what I'm looking for. A car-to-car swap. I don't want to be adding more crap to my car as I'm trying to keep the weight DOWN. No air compressors, none of that extra crap.

 

The same year Chevy Caprice's and Cadillac Brougham's should have the same horn, but not for sure. In case you frequent junkyards.

Whatever horn you get, PLEASE DON'T GET THIS: Linkage to not cool horn.

 

dude train hord ftw. id love to have one, just not for the couple hundred bucks it costs

 

I actually found a place online that sells them, $20 a pop, not bad. Do you happen to know anything else I'd need? I don't know how interchangeable car horns are. They had the wiring harness available too, but I don't know how plug-and-play it'd be with our cars. For the $30 and all including shipping, I might just be willing to experiment if it's reasonably doable.

 

Honestly I have no idea. It should be just a positive, negative and remote wire. The only horn system I have ever worked on, was on a 77 datsun 280z. Sorry I can't help more, GOOD LUCK!

 

Well... I wired up an air-horn... $30 at pep boys... it's high pitched, ear piercing loud. Just spliced into the stock horn wiring since the compressor runs off of a 12v source. Tucked the compressor up under the radiator support beam (silver nut) and drilled a hole to mount the horn on the 2.2/2.4 airbox support piece. The kit comes with 2 horns... but I only used one so it's twice as loud. Piece of cake... takes like an hour.

 

silver streak wat kind of horn is it? can you get a vid?

 

It's a universal Wolo horn kit from pep boys... I'll have to see if I can find anyone with a video camera or sound recorder.

We call it the "Durty South Horn Mod" and about 5 of us in the DSLSJA have done it now. I don't know where you 2.2/2.4 guys would put the air horn(s) themselves... but we'll leave that to your creativity.

 

So when you guys do the three honks to go in a inpromt-to ace, will you win because the guys won't be able to hear anymore. lol. Seems like a fun, interesting project. blow it in a parking garage and see how many peopel you guys get to go deaf. lol.


I've seen people use air horns as BOVs.

 

BWAHAHAHAHA... actually... I'm sure it'd suprise the hell out of anyone riding beside me with a window down... that should be fun for this summer.

 

What wire do you splice to get it to blow off the regular horn ???

 

You have to pull the drivers side headlight and bracket out of the way and unhook the stock horn... there's a black wire (negative) and a green wire (positive)... we just ran some decently heavy gauge speaker wire to each side... stripped the coating on each and soldered it in. If I unhooked the airhorn and plugged the stock horn back in... it will work fine.

The only thing is you have to change the stock horn fuse in the fuse box from a 10 amp to a 20 amp. It's a pretty easy mod... we've got it down to about an hour to do completely.

 

Cool thanks I have a horn in mind already, just needed to confirm the hook-up.

Can you say "144db" ???

And no it's not a train horn...

 

Any universal horn will work as long as it runs off of a 12 volt source of power between 10 and 20 amps. Electrical work can be tricky if you don't know what you are doing. The stock horn is powered by 12 volts at 10 amps. That airhorn setup uses 12 volts at 20 amps... so we had to swap out the stock 10 amp horn fuse.

 

I put a 3 tone air horn kit in mine. I just used the stock wire clip on the horn. The clip comes off of the horn and you can use the "Male Bullet Terminals" that you can get from auto zone or pep boys to plug into the stock harness. I ended up not having to cut into the stock harness at all. Love the sound. When I put in my CAI I could mount all three of them under the headlight too! It gets attention, so much louder, I love it.

 

I have something that will beat the rest. Try old bosch horns from a Mercedes. They are loud as hell with *****. Let me get some pics of my imatators and i will send it to you. A real set goes for 600 around here, but imatators go for 200. They are loud trust me.

 

I dont know why, i read that and i jus startin crackin up. At first i thought gettin a new horn is stupid but it sounds good to me

 

Honestly... if these cars had come with a real attention getter horn... I wouldn't have been rear ended b/c the retard who decided to stop at a green light infront of me would have heard the horn when I laid on it.

That's the real reason I took the time to upgrade.
