Default Air Horns???

Just curious to know if any of you have installed air horns on your trucks. What brands are out there and how's the ease of installation?

Check out hornblasters.com. I bought a set from them a while back and loved them. As far as mounting on f150 I'm not sure. I had a Nissan at the time and I had to remove my spare tire rack.

I installed a set wolo air horns on my '06, pretty simple install. I'll post pic when I get a chance. There nothing like train horns, but they'll get your attention . Check out ebay, I got open box for $20.

i have a 10 gal tank with 2 400c fast fill compressors running at 200psi to a set of leslie RS3L's. here are a few pics:




these were bought thro a friend of the family who works on trains, he got them in canada and i rebuilt them, and since the pictures i have re painted them. in my opinion these are my fav sounding horn out of all the ones ive had (shockers from hornblasters, Nathan K3's and Nathan K5's) i would love to find a RS5L from leslie but they are extreamly rare and usually got for a few grand.

if you have any questions feel free to pm me
