Those are some Sweet horn setups you guys have! Just curious what do you have invested in a whole setup like that because I would like to do this mod in the future.

Horn = 500.00 shipping included Compressor kit 350.00 Graham White train valve = 100.00 Misc. fittings and hoses =120.00 Caboose whistle which i have yet to install = 70.00 + shipping Custom brackets = free I made my own I orginally wasn't looking at train horns . I just wanted a compressor kit for my bags . then i saw some youtube videos . and i was hooked . since i was getting a compressor I might as well get the horn . My wife and 2 kids love it !!

Nice setup you got, I am looking to get a kit for my truck as well. Now that I know it will fit were the spare tire goes, I'm happy. Since my truck is a Lightning I may have to get some brackets made so I will have something to mount it to. But I will for sure not care what my neighbors say about it. They already hate me anyways.

The kit was regular $1150 but I upgraded the compressor, tank, & pressure switch so it came to $1300 for the whole set up. Money well spent IMO!

Im serious man. Next time some ahole pulls out in front of you like an idiot, forcing you to apply the brake hard...pull out your cell and set the video cam running, when you come up to a red light with that vehicle along side of you, nail the horn! I wanna see the other drivers face when he/she ****s themselves

Put a video of that online
