Air horn system

Hey one question, how hard would it be to use one of those warn compressors and tanks? I might be getting a set of used REAL train horns.

I don't know how big the tank is... but on the real train horns you need a huge volume of air to make them work properly....

It is not as much as you would think. I get a 35-45 second honk from 10 gals @ 145psi usign 3/8 hose and a set of nathan p3's befor they trail off. This is way longer than anybody wants to hear them. For normal daily driver improvement tooting a 5 gal should be plenty. A quick toot from the horns will get you flipped off just as quick...

I have a hornblasters.com Jr. Condctor kit on my f350 and I love it. The 4 horns were easy to mount down the frame rails because they can be separated. They have some installs on thier page too. I bought the 200 psi system with a tank so I cann fill tires, rafts, ect from the truck. I also hooked up the factory SEIC system to idle up the truck during long compressor runs so my batteries dont run low. The package from hornblasters showed up 2 days after I ordered it, I was pretty impressed with that too. If you want I can post a few pics for ya.

My buddy used one of these tanks with an manual valve under his seat and got off pretty cheap!

Thanks, yeah thats cheap enough for me. The hard part remembering to fill it full of air when it's empty.
