zeitgeist57 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 There are a few guys around Naples/Ft. Myers that are selling train horn kits (like what you will find on http://www.hornblasters.com). In fact, one guy is selling a brand new 3-horn kit from HB for $150. Does anyone have a setup on their vehicle in the C'bus area? Any recommendations or thoughts? I'm thinking about getting a kit for my '82 Chevy, since I know the people selling the kits and they are dirty cheap used. I wouldn't use it all of the time, but (like a N20 kit) I think it might be fun to have and use occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 For $150, I am guessing it is the Horns ONLY. You then need to add in a compressor, pump, lines, fittings and switches. If it is everything, then I would ASSUME it is junk. Good pumps are more than $150 alone! Also, Tank size DOES matter. The bigger the tank, and faster the pump, the longer, and more frequently you can use them. If the tank is < 5 Gallons.... you will NOT get long horn blasts... PERIOD!

Crossle Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Pat, Pat and myself were debating the possibility of having a train horn as your doorbell. Funny stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 For $150, the kit I'm looking at includes the tank and compressor. I'm not looking for Loooooong...just a loud, short blast if someone is in front of me or just needs to wake the fuck up. I dunno, though...another guy is selling a higher-quality kit with a black 4-horn setup for $300. We'll see. Plus, I also want to turbo the 6.2L diesel. Banks' kit would be about $2k. *Sigh*...projects... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medium fast Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 The 4 piece black horn kit is the loudest ones I have herd. I had the 3 chrome ones on my last truck and they were rediculous loud. I ran the tank to around 190 psi from my engine driven. I already had 12 gallons of air for my suspension so it wasn't anything to hook them up. I payed $150 for the horns alone. If you go to some chrome shops they sell the train horn kits for around $120. I have herd about everykit possible and the black ones are by far the best. here is a link to a compelte kit with good compressor for under 500 http://suicidedoors.com/4-PCTrainHornCompleteKit.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
