Find someone that works for csx or norfork and get 5 horn real train horns . I run on all of our semi trucks . At 120 psi from 20 feet away they will make your teeth hurt like they are being vibrated out of your mouth. But the people who drive around the Watermelon 500 in atlanta need that much noise to get them to move over .

eBay Motors: Three Trumpet Oversize Train Air Horn - LOUD! (item 140230026272 end time May-10-08 10:57:20 PDT)

Those are the same horns I got and I got them from Eric (mypushcart) on ebay. I have had them for about 3 years now and he has excellent customer service and a really nice guy to work with. I had a leak in my system and it ran the compressor for an undetermined amount of time and it might have "Over worked" the compressor. I have had them for over 3 years and have used them for lots of amusing things, among blowing them with my remote from my alarm. I hooked it up to the "trunk pop" and it blasts as long as you press the button....needless to say they get used a lot. I had noticed the Viair 280C compressor I got with them has gotten sorta weak lately. Insted of taking 1 and half minutes to pump back from 95 to 150, it now takes about 6 minutes. He said that excissive run times eventually cause the piston rings to wear out, like a high mileage car, so I am fixing to upgrade to the Viair 350C which has a 100% duty cycle as opposed to the 30% on the 280C. Just my pennies worth but they are excellent horns, and I did get the metal ones and had to "tin snip" off a little on the bottom (check out the mounting in my gallery) just cause I wanted to have a horizontal surface insted of the roundness of the trumpet since they hang down under my seat....Enjoy the new found power of the ACAS....Air Collision Avoidance System..(Old throw back from my flying days and TCAS....Traffic Collision Avoidance System, that would definitely ruin your day for sure....

Great looking setup!

that is who my wife got them from. i was surprised to find the ones in my system were ABS. they still sound awesome though. compressor takes ~30 second to fill and it doesn't leak at all. mine get used daily as well. If you are on budget, I highly recommend these. I was fixing to spend ~$600 w/ siege if my wife wouldn't have surprised me with these.

CSIPSD, Layson and myself ordered our sets of horns through Kenny at ktperformance.net. I had a problem with the solenoid and he assisted in getting a new part. Definately worth purchasing through Kenny. We do have the Seige-Engineering horns.
