Where'd u get them from, and how loud are they...

ive toyed with the idea of having the Diesel Locamotive train horns installed on my frame rails....but think that may be a bit much

That is the funniest damn thing I've ever seen in my life! It's 3 in the morning and I'm crying right now from laughing so hard. I thought having the rear wiper squirter mod was funny, but this takes it to a whole new level. I want one for christmas! Please Santa Please!

THis is my setup. 2 sets of them. Life is so much more enjoyable when you give suckers the middle finger.





let me know if you have any q's. I haven't figured out a better place to mount them so removing the grill each time i drive is the work around. I dont drive often so i dont really mind ;]

if you stand about 30 feet away frmo the front of my xB, your ears ring. that's only if i honk for 1 second.... poor people in front of me... never saw it coming.... ;]

Dude, if you really wanna let fackers have it, seriously consider my setup. yeah it's annoying taking the grill off when i drive but when i have to use them, i am sooo thankful that i installed them... i haven't been bothered by the cops once. many cops have seen the horns but none have heard them. i think that's why i haven't gotten stopped ;]

note to self - dont honk when i smell bacon.

midtown-- Why do you have to take the grill off? Could you not leave it on and still be loud? Do you have a stock grill or aftermarket?
Sorry for all the questions.

I can answer this one....
If u look at the design on the stock grille, its solid, between the bars, so it blocks off the sound waves, and reverbs them back....I was noticing this earlier. All the Good beeping noise...goes right back at 'cha.......

That is kinda what I thought. So in that case, an aftermarket one should eliminate the need to take off. Mmmm..
Guess that means I need the grill before this mod.

BINGO! that's exactly why i remove the grill. You would think that they're just as loud with the grill on but dude, it's a night and day difference. with the grill on, the sound is sooo muffled it's not even funny... with the grill off, it's much better! and yes i have the stock grill.

after market grills would be good but the holes let in too much dirt and debris. i ride around sometimes with the grill on but a few times with it off. not to mention after market grills let in too much sound into the engine compartment - and eventually - into the cabin.

wow - no way - that sucks man =( i drive around with mine exposed and havent had problems.. only problem is that my engine compartment, at only about 10,200 miles, is pretty dirty... i gotta find a place that can clean it (in a few thousand miles or so) so it looks good as new. and i hope that dirt doesnt mess up anything in the engine compartment. that would suck =/

how did it sound with the 2 sets installed? deafening? and exactly where did you mount them? ;]
