well today i installed the air horns, they are not like musical air horns but they are legal and it sounds like a bloody truck or a big boat is coming!
Its gonna be fun

Thats nice.
I hope you used the relay supplied with the kit, otherwise your gonna get a nasty shock.

Cheers

Aaron

yer i used the relay and did it all properly, it took a while in the end but its better doing it properly i say. Got rid of the old crappy horn so its just wired up to the indicator stick,.

Great aren't they? Nice and loud... if they can't see you they will hear you!

Used to have a set but they were always breaking down. Got a set from the Mrs for Christmas so I put them in and whammo. Found out that the air compressor must be mounted vertically coz thats why the old ones were no good - wore out the non replacable bushes

Cheers

They do like a drop of oil occasionally too. Lubricates the vanes. My old Fiamm compressor had a little oil hole on top for the purpose of.

yer its just embarrasing when you have a pov horn and you want to get your message across

I just fitted twin electric horns to my wife's 850 - loud enough to make people look for the Mercedes behind them. They have a nice harmonious sound.

But for my Clubman, I have these:


These are crazy loud at 40psi (i.e. painful), not too bad at 25psi. NOTHING like the normal air horns. And they will only fit the Clubman, and I have to have the tank in the boot, but it takes up no more space than a 2nd petrol tank. I'd have to run two horns, for when I just want to toot at someone I recognise, but these babies are for those SUVs that wander onto your side or the road. In particular, there's one b*tch in a Cayenne who drives like a real tw*t...

gusdog, they look mad.

What did they cost?

holy sh!t, now thats an air horn

Did you steal that from a semi trailer or container ship?
Its frigging HUGE

In NZ they have these auctions of imported Chinese tools and car bits. I bought two sets of those horns @ NZ$20, and had to buy the air tank on Trade Me for NZ$45. You just charge the air tank with your compressor or at the garage, and that's it. It needs a regulator though, as I said at 40psi it is painful, even a 1/3 second toot but at 25psi it's still way louder than the horns you get in Supercreep. Plus you don't need to wire in a compressor. The electrical air switch is the small thing between the horns.
