    Italian Air Horn

    It took some searching, but I found this horn, which I think would be perfect for the VX:

    Here's the sound clip:

    What do you guys think?

    I found it for sale here:

    Got one- decent but a little lower than I liked so I have removed it. About $30 @ Pep Boys. I installed so they pointed out the openings in the lower part of the front bumper cover.

    That's dinky car stuff. What you need for the VX is a Wolo train horn:


    At 157 db it will get someone's attention!

    Hear it!

    Check the website, they've got some serious products.

    "Lower" meaning lower pitch or less decibels? How does it sound compared to the clip I posted above?

    Yeah, that train horn is freakin' awesome. The best part, it gives you an excuse for an on-board compressor and mini-storage tank. 157 db... Ain't nothing even close! Just be sure to have 911 dialed on your cell and your finger on "Send", cause you'll make someone have a heart attack when you blow it! ;eekg;

    I dunno. A horn like that is more likely to make someone WANT to hit you. I think the Italian horn fits the VX's character better. Save that monster for your dually.

    Picked up the same horn at Auto Zone - $30. Great sound - much more fitting to the VX than the stock "wimpy" horn. Go For it - you'll love it! I made a custom bracket and installed mine in the stock horn position facing down behind the front bumper cover.

    I wound up buying a pair of them on eBay for $15 each + $6 shipping.

    I want a really deep horn, nothing I've heard on any aftermarket sites sounds like what I am looking for.

    Has any one played that 18 wheeler game in the arcades? When you get to the second leg of the run, you get a new deeper horn.. THATS the sound that I want.

    I was given a 150 db 2 Horn kit last Christmas, but haven't taken the time to install it yet. I believe it was bought on eBay for about $30. I'll update everyone on the sound when I get that beotch installed.

    Those who have air horns, did you wire it to your normal horn switch (in the steering wheel) or did you mount a separate switch/relay?

    150 db? Do tell!

    Spike, did you listen to the Wolo sample? The more I look at that one the more I like, especially after I start thinking about the on-board compressor and tank. Although I think an ARB compressor would be my choice instead of the one from Wolo. Just an excuse for front 'n' rear lockers...

    Yes Joe_Black, I heard it.

    Not looking to sound like an Acela ... More looking to sound like a rig with an almost fog horn depth...
