is there a delay from when you press the horn till it actually honking? i think i read that w/o a tank, there will be a delay if theres a leak somewhere. i'm not sure tho, i've never heard of needing a tank neither.

yep,slight delay which is from the time it takes the compressor motor to start pumping enough air into the horns, dont think you can avoid the slight delay

i got mine from Auto Zone, and the delay i have is about the same as what you would get from a regular relay. as far as a tank goes, the small ones dont need one b/c the compressor is quick enough to give the horns just enough air to get loud.

check out www.hornblasters.com. i would definately suggest either a compressor/tank set-up or just use a small bottle like a nos and refill it at your local welding supply.

Now theres a horn! but where in the heck are you going to mount 4 giant horns? not to mention that the smallest is 13" long and the longest 19.5". I had a hard time finding room for my 3 tiny horns

tell you the truth, i didn't look that carefully at the products. but they have a reputation for having the goods among the sport truck community. btw, check out the videos.

I helped a friend with an Altima install air horns in his car. The delay was almost a full second and it didn't sound any more attractive or louder than my stock horns. If I was going to change my horn I'd put in something sweet like from an old Caddy or Lincoln or something like that. Anyway I'm not a fan the air horns on passenger cars.


Here's what you should do:

^^ did you use the relay to the battery or were you just using the power from the stock horn harness? the compressor probably wasnt getting enough power.
