18 wheel 91 RX7 - Hella air horn

I want my 7 to sound like a truck. I got a Hella air horn.

Where did you mount yours?

Someone needs to make more sense...

and i've never heard of the Hella brand name air horn. But you'd mount it kinda on the side of the engine bay.

Hella like the lights

I was "hit" by a bus at a stop light as he pulled away from the curb.

Now they will know I am there, even if they cant see me!!

Here is a picture of a two horn set from Victoria British, Ltd

man city busses are a menace. here in LA those drivers are all crazy retards...i was stopped at a red on PCH and looked in my mirror, saw a bus coming up behind me going like 60mph (posted speed is either 35 or 45)...no way for him to stop without creaming me. i see him change lanes and he runs the red light. must have not been paying attention to the traffic ahead of him. i have almost been hit countless times by them merging. time to get airhorns for my car as well.

to run a real semi air horn you need a huge air compressor, which would suck about 50hp out of you engine when it turns on.
