Yeah I have them hooked up to the stock horns, but stock horns not hooked up. It had a funny tone with the air horns and stock.
Im just using the wire off the stock horns to trip the solenoid to the air horns.

I only use it for a normal horn.. I haven't scared anyone with it.
I look at it this way, If some a$$ scared me with these horns I would be pissed.
So I don't go looking to scare ppl.

its just as loud as a 18wheelers horn, not really as loud as a train. Just don't be an *** and you wont get in any trouble for using them when needed.

But don't be afraid to honk at a hottie walking down the street

If you tap the horn they sound just like a normal horn.
If you lay on the horn they open up and get loud..you'll see.

Okay, that kit is not a true train horn, or even a semi horn...I scored a semi air horn at a local flea market for like $5, and thought "what the hell, I'll try it"...The horn was a triple, and the shortest one in the three, was 2 feet long. So yeah, they wouldn't fit. I met a guy in TX, who drove a brotruck, that had an actual train horn on his rig...thing was frickin' huge, and you can hear it from like 5 miles away. That's when I gave up on large air powered horns. Too brodozer for my blood, LOL

Duma, how do you like that setup? Never seen that kit before.

I feel the same way about it. So, no, LOL

I did find a single trumpet at one point, and mounted it underneath behind the gas tank. It was loud, but the novelty wore off quickly. Disconnected it soon after. Then I met the brotruck dude in TX...kinda sealed the deal for me. I don't wanna be "bro", LMAO

Horns may fit behind stock front bumper, there is more room there than it appears. But who has a stock bumper anymore..
