so i dont konw which section to put this in so here goes. lol (please move it if there is a more suitable locations lol)
So i finally went out and got my train horns. we went to a local shop and i think i got a good deal. i guess yall can tell me if otherwise but i am VERY happy with them. I spent right at $500 on them. when i walked in the guys tells me other shops do this same set up for $1000 (which idk if thats true or not he was probably just being a sales man. lol) but his price (just for me lol) was 850. i told him no way. so he tells me alright 700. so i said well im gonna install them. so he said 600. then i told him i only had 400 in my pocket and i would put his sticker on the truck (not saying how long it would stay lol but i dont have it on there because he didnt have any at the time) but he told me 500 and i would pay him the 100 later on basically the honors system. so right now i have only dropped 400 on them. and like i said VERY happy. these are louder than any other horns i have heard and i know a couple people who have spent more on theirs. so here are some pics and the specs on the compressor/air tank are in the pic.
(here are the specs on the compressor/air tank) and i have one question about it...and i dont know anything about compressors but...would this be enough air and a good enough compressor to run air tools off of? i know i wouldnt be able to do a lot at a time but just enough to have an impact gun for the lug nuts sort of thing? and would it be enough to fill up my tires if need be? or is this tank too small and compressor too small to be able to keep up? and....if it is big enough to do either of these, how hard is it to make a "y" on the tank so i can have one line running to the horns and one to air tool or whatever? lol like i said i dont know anything about this so if yall know anything please let me know.
so anyways, let me know what yall think of my newest purchase...definetly the most fun purchase so far i think i will see about getting a video up or something like that. they are definetly loud (scared the crap out of my the first time i heard them...and i was ready for it LOL)
pretty badass..but u really need to something on the end of the muffler..turn down or bring it out the side or back..the heat all under the truck is real bad..

believe me the exhaust is on the list...but what could it really hurt? its under the bed...not like its under the cab. plus i dont see how the turn downs would help at all except while sitting still cause when the truck is moving, the air is circulating under there...right?? and while the truck is sitting still, even with turn downs, heat rises...so wouldnt it still end up going up? i see how it may be a little bit cooler but especially with it being under the bed it doesnt seem crucial to me. plus i guess i have just seen so many mufflers like this, i didnt think there was something wrong with it.
I would have gone with a Viair compressor personally, I have a few friends that have burnt those Omega compressors out really fast. You could have gotten the hornblasters kit for 400-500
$489...so 500 to get it on the spot and no shipping is pretty good. lol
and yea i know they can get me in trouble...its all about being smart. lol

silly willy....those arent train horns, those are air horns!
now these are train horns....heheheh, just waiting to get a 5gallon tank, 1/2" air valve, and 1/2" hose and a few hours to get it all installed and secured.
That's pretty cool... I like the idea of installing the compressor in the tool box... Good show...
thanks...yea i liked it better than putting it in the bed or under the bed or anything.

idk if i would do air tools but i think it could do tires...slowly but it would work. i wouldnt do that a lot though cause thats running it a lot. but no i never got a real answer either.
