Just want to share my opinion on Hella Supertone twin horns.
I got them on my Max, and also installed them on my bro's Avalon.
They are defenetly louder then stock, but...
Few nights ago we were both driving on the highway and I decided to see how they really perform. So I asked him to stay behind me at about 15ft and blast me with the horns. We were driving at about 65mph, plus I was listening to stock stereo at mid to high volumes, and I got to tell you that I almost did not hear his horns ;(
Aparently they are not that effective on the highway ;(
Just my 2cents.

 

That is why you get an air horn Like the ones on the semi-trucks That way if some1 cuts you off, well they will be in for a surprize to say the least. Id love to have those

 

where would you get one?

 

truck stop, late at night

 

But really I havnt tried to search yet.

 

question, on the avalon, are both horns mounted forward-facing? Just wondering cause on my 5th gen, one horn is mounted in the engine bay and one facing forward. When I put both facing forward it was much better.

 

the problem with the truck horns is that most of them come with a tank. i'm also looking into getting a set.

 

Yeah it requires an air tank, I think an air compressor comes with it too, but I dont think they are that big. IF the tank is like 1ft wide and 3ft long obviously 4get the damn thing. I would still love to honk at some1 at a light and scare the living **** out of them They would be looking around for a semi

 

does anyone know whats the loudest set of air-horns with compressor but without the air-tank?

 

hahahah

 

Alright I found a few... Here Looks like the BigBoss is the loud 1! and the prices arnt too bad. Or you can get the portable horn and stick it out your window when you want to honk

Yeah I want like 4 of these on my roof

Here is one more, I want my car to sound like a damn frieght train when I hit the horn

 

Y'all ain't got no sense.

 

Do NOT try to use a freight train horn. I saw a guy do it, he placed it behind his radiator.... its really fun to watch a radiator (with hoses) shoot out 20feet from a early 80's Chevy K10

 

 

i like the one with the 5-horns.

 

Freddie, were you at the exit 12 rest stop on the turnpike Sat? I could have sworn I saw you car there

 

yup that was me, i was going to my sister-inlaw house. exit 12.

 

I knew that was you... I was looking for you inside but didn't see you.. I was just stopping by fora bathroom break then heading down to va..

 

last year i went to VA at this time (aug 3rd). i went for 7 days and had a great time (alot of driving).

 

Yup - both mounted infront of the radiator facing forward ( using relay and everything ).
Actually on my Max they are also mounted both infront of the radiator facing forward. I didn't know that stock comes with two horns, so when I was installing my Hellas I didn't replace the second stock horn (engine bay). So now I have three horns

 

i have that 2 trumpet FIAMM, and it's ok.. nothing too loud. i beep at jerks on the road and they don't seem to get the point. although yesterday there was this guy on the cell phone and was going right into my front right fender changing lanes without looking so i gave him a dose of air horn power.. should seenthe guy he almost lost control of the vehicle, cell phone went flying .. i was ROLLING!!!

 

hahahah

 

Why don't you guys try boat horns. They run on 12 volts just like a car, and trust me they are very loud.

Here is a pic


You can buy them here and they are not that expensive!

West Marine

Have fun!

 

j.c. whitney has many of them.

 

mine works just fine (tested them on several occasions on hwys)

 

i've seen and heard hella horns...

and they have nothing on a 100-watt speaker and an electronic airhorn/siren combo

 

are air horns legal? could they be considered illegal and a distraction?

just wondering

 

i don't think it's illegal to have them but I do know it's illegal to honk without reason. That's why the truckers don't do it. Like in the good ol days when you were sitting in the back of your mom's station wagon staring up at the truck driver giving him the honk honk sign and then giving him the thumbs up after he blasted his horn a couple times ultimately scaring your mom half to death.

 

If you want the train sound for cheaper, find an 87-89 Buick Park Avenue in a junk yard and pull it's horns. Or any 70's model Caddy, for that matter. They have some of the best sounding horns out there.

 

when my dad switched from american cars to japanese, i noticed how girly the japanese cars sounded, i just kept it to myself though, now i , know that i'm not alone though

 

realistically is teh air horn in teh max possible? i don't need a huge one, but one witha beefier sound would be awesome....

 

Have you ever heard a Ferrari honk? Now that is the gheyest horn ive ever heard

Freaknificent: How loud do you want it man? You can get it from just beefier to strong, to semi-truck or hell make it sound like a freight train

I have $ for a few kits with 2air horns and a small compressor provided in a few links I posted earlier. Check those out, the $ are pretty cheap.

 

It would be fun to have that just for kicks.

 

Geez, these things are expensive: http://www.wescoairhorns.com/pricing.html

 

^^^ Dude, it would be insane to honk a horn like that!!
