im pretty sure thats not legall....i dont know why but im almost positive i saw somewhere thats illegal...

well considering a horn is illegal in any instance that is not an emergency... technically in minnesota it's illegal for you to honk your horn outside your friends house to let them know you're waiting outside...

as long as you only use it in an emergency you should be dandy ;) But what are the odds that you'd put that in without wanting to show it off... a lot..

good luck stuffing it under your hood with the air tank and air comp...

and yes it is illegal to have that loud of air horns

most people hide them under the front bumber. i guy who used to go to my old school had 4 of them, but they were the cheap plastic kinds so it sounded like soemthing was wrong with his engine when he honked.
im pretty sure its illegal to have a horn over a certain size, or a horn that makes over a certain decible. also its not legal to have horns used my emergency vehicles or law enforcement vehicles.

Wow, good luck fitting that mess under the hood!

I'd love to replace the little beeper with a horn, but I can't
imagine where I'd fit all the gear for it!

just dont honk at a cop...., and then wire some kind of kill switch on the ground wire, so if you do honk it, and a cop pulls you over, you can kill the ground to the horns (air valve, if you use real train horns)..and say, "See, my horn don't work officer"

The shorter the tubing is, the louder.

The air has to be pushed from the rear of the xB, to the front; thus losing some air travel.

For better results, mount the air tank in the bumper cavity. I haven't taking off the bumper yet, or I could show you.

I did it on my civic, and no one could tell.

Goodluck!

Well I have a set of Stebel air horn fitted, mounted inside the front bumper, have to remove the bumper and fit the air compressor and six trumpets into the right corner, actually have enough space for them all.... separate switch, when press, it sound the intro to the Godfather tune.

It's amazing how things are different in different places. I'm visiting New Delhi, India on business but all you hear are horns blowing. Nobody uses their mirrors even if they have them.

My dad had a switch so he could use the same button on the steering wheel to use the regular horn and a siren type alarm that they had back in the 1970's for car alarms. Maybe I can do the same thing with a big 'ol air horn?

Actually my set of Stebel Godfather does not have an air tank... it is a small electrical compressor of about 5 inches and 3 inches diameter..... fits snugly together with the six trumpets in the corner of the bumper. Opening the bonnet and unless close inspection is done, the horns cannot be seen easily.

Anyway they are illegal here where I am, but who cares, the horns are only sounded at meetups and not for daily use. A group of my friends actually have fitted the same set as me, and we like gatecrashing at different car group meetings, and give them our salute. Imagine 6 to 10 cars of differnet make, driving pass a group of same model cars, we each blasting out our horns..

Haha that's pretty cool. A friend of mine had a ambulance siren on his EK civic he wires a button on the dash to set it off

there is more room than you think...
i have a set installed...i can even fill up my own tires if they run low...

they are illegal if they are over the db limit set by the state...130-135db at 3 meters is normal....

my buddy had the same horns but mounted diff.
