Want one of these for my car for Christmas

While I was looking for a Nathan air horn on you tube for my USA Trains SD70 I came across this video . Would love one of these horns on my car would sound fantastic under a bridge or tunnel .

Fantastic!!!!! Forty years ago, I owned a Chevy Vega GT. Look it up. Someone gave me an air horn from a tractor trailer. You should have seen some of the looks I got in their rear view mirrors, when I had to remind them that the light was green.

I wonder what those numpties would have done if an SD70 had gone hacking past with about 40 Box Cars on tow?

WOW I bet that sounded great Dan ,mind you in this country having a V8 chevy reving it's engine up your back side would be enough no need for a horn . I do remember in my teens I had a two tone air horn on my Ford Escort and that would sound fantastic in the narrow streets where I lived . I do recall having a friend who had the Duke's Of Hazzard on his car .

Well my Vega GT had only a four cylinder aluminum engine. Radical for it's time. So I had to make up for what the car didn't have in guts, with a gutsy horn

I want one but it is probably not legal here.
Reminds me of Go Goodwins coach which was fitted with one tone from a BR diesel. Two would have flattened the battery. It panicked the driver of DMU running parallel to the N Wales Coast Road and caused the station staff at Llandudno Jnct to rush out onto the platform and look bewilderingly for a "ghost train". It has probably become folklore now.

Bleedin' eardrums?? ???

Hummm..
How long for the compressor to get up to pressure?
And would it, and some Class66 horns, stall the car??

I had a vauxhall nova when I was 17. I bought air horns from a truck centre and a 12v compressor. Mounted under the bonnet it was a lot of fun to make the noise of a big truck rig in a tiny hatch back.
