@Tricon

Have you posted any details on your compressor setup?

NO DOUBT this is the best solution but takes a lot more work and planning. Had a Jeep with this set up--awesome to say the least.

Here is mine... It's not viair but it's been in use for a while (over a year on my old truck). Trumpets are nasty looking from upstate NY winter. You can't barely see anything from the side of the truck.

LOL just know if you use those horns on a public road and someone gets hurt or dies because of it you will be at best sued and at worst facing criminal charges. Those things are not legal for good reason.
