The other day I was almost killed by a blind old man in a minivan. He swerved into my lane on a freeway on ramp, just as I was beginning to "pick up a little speed". My GF screamed, my ABS kicked in, and I swore enough to make daddy proud. I gathered up all my anger and frustration that had been gathering over the last three months or so of summer driving, and proceeded to direct it at Mr Minivan. I mashed my fist into the horn button with a silly evil grin on my face, then, ....meep.

The stock horn has the decibel rating of a gay uncle farting, I swear.

Mr Minivan disappears in the sunset, content with the knowledge that I am a total and utter *****. I swore right then that I would never suffer such a humiliation ever again.

The next day I found these at the local automotive store:


They are made in Italy, and all the components seem to be of fair quality. Comes with it's own relay, all I just had to wire 12v from the battery to the compressor through the relay, use the old horn wire as the switch, and ground everything. All the horns fit behind the nose of the car, in front of the rad, and the compressor mounted off to the side in a dry spot by the headlight assembly. I pointed the horns down so any water that does manage to find its way on there runs out. You really have to look for the horns to see them from the outside, the install is very stealth.

The kitchen knife is a vital tool for any DIY job, just don't tell my GF, ok?


How does it sound? Lets just say construction workers go for lunch when I honk my horn. It is loud. And VERY piercing. I love it so much. Yesterday I was honking at people who looked like they were kind of maybe thinking of cutting me off.

HEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAANNNNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$85 CAD taxes in, about $50 US. You can find them for cheaper on the net tho...

 

LOL. I need a few of the bitches too.

Must be useful when the guy in front on the carpool lane is doing &lt; 70.

 

aaahaha love the story

 

I am so getting myself some of those. Nice!

 

yeah i totally agree that stock horns sounds like wimp.

 

IM embarrassed to use my stock horn, i usually just resort to the finger.

 

Does anyone know where you can get these on the net? This would really help me out cause where I live there are a lot of deer in the area and if they hear a loud horn they go the other way. I had to find this out after hitting one though.

 

I love my airhorns. I got mine at pep boys for like 40 bux. I got the triple airhorns, theyre loud as hell. I always wail'em when I go through underpasses. heheh! This is my second set, the compressor tends to go bad after a few years. but they are definitely worth it.

 

Great story

I need a set of those on the Pig. I swear, no one can see that damn car

 

LMAO....why didn't j00 mount them on the roof??

 

Can you post directions on how to install the air horns. THank you

 

what are the ones that have a high pitch sound like the European horns (like Ferarris)

I just installed those in a friend's car last week and yes they are f*cking loud.
If you want to make it a little different try only routing 1 tube to 1 horn....that way it gets ALL the air and is even louder (we did this just to test it out and it was crazy).

 

Thought I was the only one who hated the Honda Stock MEEP MEEP road runner horn.

I changed mine with a 132 db truck horn the night I bought the car. Air horn was ny next purchase

 

i am in the market for a new horn, mine just went out. i picked a free one up from work. maybe i should look into this. i saw a set at the local autostore. perhaps i should go back and look again

 

that's f0cking great!!!

how loud is it in the interior??? hurt your ears loud?

 

sweet!

On my R too I have another horn then OEM, I dont know what exactly it is...but its a hell lot louder then some POS Honda horns!

Love too scare those people! he he

 

That's hella funny

 

lmao... funny story. I too have had the frustrating experience of hitting my horn, and no one even hearing it... perhaps it's time #386 got a set of those

hehe "gay uncle farting" that classic

 

Nice! I've recently installed some 03 Accord horns and I swear my car sounds like a Ford but its loud enough.
