#2243601 Another Train Horn Install, Horn Blasters Ftw....non-Volvo Content

Posted by Ghost Shadow on 14 June 2013 - 11:34 PM



 

I'm pretty sure train horns on passenger cars are illegal in a number of states. Sorry for derailing. Nice install :tup:

 

 

Edit: 

PA Law:

 

Horns and warning devices.

a. Condition of horns and warning devices. All components of a horn or warning device shall be in safe operating condition as described in § 175.80 (relating to inspection procedure).

b. Horn and warning device requirements. A vehicle specified under this subchapter shall have a horn or other warning device which is audible under normal conditions at a distance of not less than 200 feet. No vehicle shall be equipped with a siren, bell, whistle or similar device emitting an unreasonably loud or harsh sound except emergency vehicles and vehicles equipped with an anti-theft device.

 

http://www.pacode.co...75/s175.76.html

 

it is illegal in pa, sound fall under sound pollution, but easily thrown out in court. officer will not have a sound decible meter to measure the infraction.

My car has a anti theft device LoL..

 



So are loud exhaust and sound systems.

 

exactly...double standards.. they okay it on motorcycles....now back to your regularly scheduled program!!

 

Here is the job in progress...till completion
 
Pulled all the switches out

Took about 1 hour to file down some square holes for these nice switches to install. three switches.
1 for my always on with ignition Rigid Industries D2 blinding lights :P
1 for compressor on and off with ignition on
1 for horn over ride, switch off regular horn, switch on.....train horns on blast :)

Another shot of the compressor from the driver's side
20130614_184957_zps6d753001.jpg
 
Tank again
20130614_185014_zps31b850cc.jpg
 
 
Horns again
20130614_185108_zps2b01a8f9.jpg
 
Impressions with this setup? Compared to my other setups?
 
Noticed this 1 gallon will burst blast the horn fast for a good 2-3 seconds and die. BUT, this sucker refills lighting fast..like 15-20 seconds, compared to my volvos setup, i can blast for 10-12 seconds but takes 2-3 minutes to refill.
 
I like this setup better!
 
Flame suit on....bring on the comments!



#2243317 Another Train Horn Install, Horn Blasters Ftw....non-Volvo Content

Posted by Ghost Shadow on 13 June 2013 - 11:24 PM

what prompted this installation. Was the following this morning. Coming down the street,  double parked trash truck facing the wrong way down a two way street.  So I go around following a Ford expedition. Driver stops next to the trash truck so the pos garbage picker upper can "Holla at a shortie" ghetto talk for Hey babe how you doing? Ass hole gave me the finger,  the wait a minute finger. .. not that one you were thinking of. This goes on for 2 minutes. ..I timed it,  not shitting you.  Finally they exchange numbers and I get to leave..... less than 4 blocks down the same street another trash truck. ... same shit again,  this time it's "his homie" arrg life in the ghetto.


When I drive my volvo,  I patiently wait it out and then as I pass by I give them the horn when they are closest to thehorns. This way the ringing in their ears will remind them of how big of a asshole they are.

DISCLAIMER: Train horns are not for everyone. I am sure on this forum like all the other forums, there are going to be people that will hate me for this mod and there are those that are going to love it. I own my retail store, these mods i do to my car, is a tool for me to sell and install product! Do i abuse the power of having loud horns? NO, i dont do the @SSHAT stuff you see on youtube hornblaster videos. I do use it when other drivers feel the need to double park next to a empty parking spot so they can "holla at their man" and i have to drive around them into on coming traffic. I use them when the @SSHAT that is talking on the phone and driving at the same time that isnt paying attention whiel driving.

 

It only took 3 months for me to resist the urge to install train horns into my latest ride. 2003 toyota 4 runner v8

 

Horns are going up front behind the bumper.

here they are mounted up

tomorrow tank and compressor get installed. goal of this install....stuff everything i can under the hood of the truck :D

 

going to do the fresh air feed for the compressor from the air intake box :P

 

Enjoy....in case you need to know how they sound....click the picture to load the video.
