Glad to see Hornblasters still around, I had one of their kits on my old Pathfinder and it could wake the dead!! I may need to do this again!!

That is some crazy shit. I would love to use them behind texting drivers and people who cut randomly.

Is this legal btw?

I know it's probably fine now, but may I highly suggest giving whatever you added to the stock ground it's own grounding point. Stock ground connections tend to ground through the bolt, not necessarily contact with the painted surface of the body metal and now that ground has to travel through your add-on probably aluminum terminal. I've repaired issues in cars that have done this very thing by restoring the factory ground.

Thanks guys! Still one of my favorite things I've done to the car. Never ceases to amaze me when I hit that train horn. :rofl:

Thanks man! It's a seamless 4 gallon air tank.

It is very useful for that! I'm not sure to be honest, I haven't been stopped yet though lol! I think it really depends on your local/county sound ordinances to answer your question.

Thanks man! I'll look more into this.

Awesome install - and I saw vids of other vehicles with these things years ago - funny ass shit when people get hit with the "blast"!

Just curious since it's been on your vehicle for a bit of time now...

Where you mounted the horns, under the car as such - how have they held up to any weather conditions, more so, say rain (or puddles)? Do the horns get any water intrusion at all due to how they're mounted?

Yes sir, they've lasted great. I do believe condensation gets into the airline though because sometimes the first press after not driving for a while, it sounds a lot higher pitched. A simple water trap between the tank and train horn solenoid would fix this though.

Lol! If someone wants to pull a gone on me for that, then I guess they'll have to see the other end of my Glock as well. :ninja:
