Default Loud Air Horns?

My goal has always been to make myself the absolute worst vehicle to cut-off. I'm halfway there with an array of bright lights that will give the back of your neck a tan that would make anyone on Jersey Shore very jealous.
Step 2 is an extremely loud air horn , lol!!
Anyone have one installed? I see a few kits on Quadratec , any suggestions?

If you want it real loud get a train horn. Not the cheapo one but a decent kit. You will need an on board compressor

I am the same Cut-Off Crusader as you, my friend! My modded Jeep is not very frequently cut off or wronged very much compared to my wife's Commander or any of my older vehicles, but I have no issues "illuminating" any evil-doers or honking heathens to death.

I don't have onboard air yet or I would get Ryan's train horn. That would be SOOOO awesome! But just using a relay and a standard 12V feed, I went with the very inexpensive $28 Wolo Long Horn kit. It's very decent for the price, loud, and Jeep sounding for what it is. Beats the terrible "meep meep" of the stock horn - which I have handly dispatched Office Space style.

Google up Grover air horns. Class act, real horns, real good quality. They will sell you a train horn if you want, but there are other options just as loud. I have their loooong truck horns on my bus. People's feet sometimes leave the ground when I blow it at 125psi.

One of the NFL stadiums has a mofo of an air horn they blow for touchdowns. Its a Grover.

I used to have train horns on my old TJ. They were a lot of fun to use, especially in DC. Now I want one of the horns they use at hockey games. I think its a fog horn.

You will also need a reserve air tank...

I was exaggerating about the lights, but I got enough to definitely bother the person in front of me!
