Can anyone forward me a link to a good train horn site and suggest something. I see tons of stuff on ebay, but have heard the cheap horns don't last. I'm looking for the real train sound and loud, any help appreciated. I'm looking to get a good horn for a decent price, just a little leary of the ebay sellers, all their stuff looks the same. Thanks!

Grover Products is the real deal. Kinda pricy though. This company makes the Stuttertone Horn you hear on the fire trucks.

I just bought one from Hornblasters.com. I love their videos, I was cracking up "Jesus wants to save you from the titty bar sitiation".
The reason I bought from hornblasters is because I just found out today that one of my tech guys on the floor has one, and he showed me his. Seems to be good quality, all metal and he has a lot of blasts on his with no issues.
Thanks for the help here!!!

Well then dont cut me off when Im towing my boat and have to slam on my brakes. or dont try and pass me on the right when I am also towing my boat to get that one spo further ahead while merging. Dont drive 55mph in the fast lane or carpool lane.
Dont drive like a jackass and you wont have to worry about it. ;)

Hornblasters has some nice stuff. I bought my tank from them. Their website shows $115, but when I called to order, the guy told me the price was really $85.
The real deal horns are very expensive. I personally like the sound of the Nathan Airchime P3 horns. A buddy here in town bought a set of horns off E-bay for like $75 that sound so close to the P3's that I've decided to get them too. They are called the Hammer 3 set from these guys: http://stores.ebay.com/Siege-Engineering-Equipment

Ive had a set of the Siege type triples for a few years, (before all the squirrels in the trees had them), they have lasted very well, pointed them backwards to keep shit out of them, run them ar 100 PSI and they will turn an asian's eys round! (drive though Garden Grove, thats why I bought them).
Some of my guys run them at 180PSI on their service tucks, and they will make your ears BLEED!!!
Real crowd pleasers!:jawdrop:

I put the viair system on my truck with a constant 150 psi. It was a bitch to run all the plumbing and find room for the air tank. They put all the bungs in the wrong place seeming how you want to hide the tank under the bed. Air horn is next. Ebay seems to have some of the best deals out there. But don't waist your money unless you do a good pump and tank system.:D

And dont believe the bull that the guys on Ebay say about how easy it is to mount, make sure you have alot of room!!! These horns are big! IE short bet f250 is a real nightmare to mount.

I ended up going with an Air-Zenith pump. 200psi, 2.65cfm free flow. It's a little more money than the Viair pumps, but moves more CFM. I am also plumbing my system to run an air gun for those pesky trailer/truck flats.

They are illegal as all hell....add to the fact that they scare the living SHIT out of people who are not expecting them, and you also are libel for the results. Yes, you can and SHOULD be sued for whatever happens. I can just imagine one of you losers running out to the river, you come up on a car doing 55-, maybe 60, and you lay into that thing....turns out its grandma and grandpa heading out to visit the grandkids for the weekend..but you can't tell the difff.....so you light them up with your horn...you startle the old man so bad he loses control of the car, rolles it a few times, kills them both. Good for you , dipshit. this whole thing of putting them on cars and trucks has GOT to be cracked down on, you LE guys listening?? Train horns are not toys, but using them for your fun is just as dumb as it gets.....
