I want a set of these for the Alero.

Thoughts?

This is the cheapest "big" kit Ive seen on E bay.

$200 for a horn.. a little excessive...

so is the sound..

I can see a loud horn, but this is borderline dangerous.

:help:

Its not an every day/time use.

theres just those times when people pull out in front of you, cut you off, slam on brakes, etc...

Oh and the annoying kid who sits outside your place with his rust bucket, no muffler and revs it up at 3:30 in the morn...

Needless to say stopping in front of his house and about 10 AM and letting this thing blow for 1 minute will be fun...

Those times would be an everyday occurrence here, Well in atlanta really. ATL traffic is the worst. I can prolly get ZERO on here, and he'll bitch about it all day long. But i understand where your coming from with the horn, But I'd have to agree with him it seems like it could get dangerous and or get you in trouble. Kinda like those dumbass with a horn (speaker) outside the car, really inteneded just to piss people off.

The videos of these horns scaring people are hilarious.

haha, i have thought about putting one of these on my truck before. the only thing with those is that tank is semi-small. i doubt it could supply enough air for more than 15 seconds. i wonder how cheap the compressor w/motor is too.

well Ryan actually its not a bad idea... I installed a Ambulance Siren in my brothers 2004 Toyota Matrix XR... Barely fit it in there but people get the hell out of the way when he is going to an EMS call and the horn is also attached to his steering wheel so when he wants to beep... he is actually blowing the horn... 136db on that horn...

My cousins roomate has one of those (FD.)

On night I was over there for a party and grabbed it and drill battery and hid them on an end table in the dinning room (threw my coat over them), I waited until they were playing beer pong at about 1am and gave it a quick blast... :happy055:

It was pretty loud, scared the crap out of everyone! :bow
