Will that horn get you in trouble?

Maybe if you have siren/pa hooked up to it also like in the video..

Carlson studder horn hooks up to oem horn and allows you to switch between oem horn or studder horn..

That would get you in serious trouble out here with all of the hippies driving Subarus and Prius' trying to hide their stash after hearing this...

Big, is the sound level proportional to the amount of air provided to the horn? In other words, is there a minimum psi level to activate the horn and if so, can you reduce the sound level?

Yes. The Hornblaster puts out 150 psi and uses 4 trumpets.

These air horns will definitely get your ass in trouble with Johnny Law. Use them sparely since everybody & their Mom has cellphone that will record you in a minute. I have seen my share of Rednecks getting their Asses pulled over & lecture. It's usually a warning or it turns into a DUI & usually happens at Talladega.

This is the solution I came up with. They are Strebel Nautilus airhorns from griotsgarage.com. $40.00 each. Compressors are built in. Install was simple. I only had to make mounts for both horns. They came in at 118db on my meter. I completely deleted the stock horns. Resulting in no honk when I lock the truck with the key fob. They do sound like a European horn but scare the crap out of people without being to offensive. Definitely louder than stock.

I started out with just one. Not quite loud enough. I added the second one and it was much better. If you get them you'll need to bump up your horn fuse by 5amps. Otherwise it will keep blowing. When you cut off the stock horn connection, leave enough wire from the connector (about an inch) so you can resolder to the factory wiring in case you want to go back to stock.

Hmmmm. If I were the other driver, I'd be looking around for the Beemer that's honking at me. Or the Mini Cooper...

I'm looking for something more than "cute"...
