Default BOV Mods, one idea

I was on my usual walk around my work today during break, When i heard the passing train horn and wondered. Why can't I modify my BOV to hook to an air horn? im pretty sure it puts out a decent amount of air, not sure if the psi is enough to do it. Anyone ever tried it? I'm normally not one to do the duck mod but i figured i throw this out there to see if someone's done it before and what horn you used.

The idea in question is nothing short of ____ing stupidity. The end result would serve no purpose outside of annoying the absolute ____ out of anyone withing audible distance. It would be akin to having a crying child on a 9 hour flight.

Retards "bov checking" me stoplight to stoplight is stupid enough. Having some annoying "____" hooking a horn up to the vent is so goddamned retarded that our speech has not evolved enough to accurately insult the person who thought of it.

That said, I cannot comprehend how you can defend this retarded idea with a straight face or even a crooked one.

Don't take me as a total idiot with a turbo scion. Just wanted to see if it was doable not if it was idiotic. some of you judge character before answering the question. If you dont know the answer, then don't f**king post. Just wanted to know if there was enough pressure to convert the bov to an air horn. I never said I was actually going to do it.

i'll do some research, i'm not sure if the pressure is right, but it might make for a quieter train horn.

Well not really all that idiotic considering there's already companies that make "trumpet" sections that look like airhorns to attach to bovs for a more aggressive ( read louder) sounder. This may be a cheaper or simply more original way of doing the same thing.
