And why would someone do that? The horn would be blowing from the moment the car started to the time it was shut off...

If you want to get a loud set of horns, then most auto parts stores sell air horn kits that come with their own compressor. I have a set, and they work VERY well.

It wouldn't generate enough pressure to make an air horn work properly. It's a low-pressure pump, not a compressor.

By like Aaron said, why would you even bother?
