Search 4 note horns on ebay. There is also a video on youtube of how they sound. GM horns from Buicks and caddies. They sound good. I have been switching them out from vehicle to vehicle.

I have these on my KW. Changed up the 3/8" feed line to 1" with chrome ball valve assembley from Peterbuilt. Works well for merging into traffic :)
I don't think they're in business anymore. The best ones are right off the CN train. Just have to really look hard for them :cool:

I have the hornblasters shockers on my deuce and a half. Crazy stupid loud. Had a neighbor that lives about 3 miles away tell me yesterday that she was outside working in the yard and could hear a train! Lol

my brother had a set on his Freightliner. Actual horns from an American train. He had to be careful not to hold them open too long or he would dynamite his air brakes. they use that much air.

i have hornblasters shocker kit on my truck and love it, its really loud and if you stand in front you can feel a shockwave hit you. also hornblasters kit is probably the best bang for your buck imo.

I went to the auto wreckers and got a pair off a Kenworth and put it behind my grill (cannot see it). Because it sits lower to the ground compared to a semi, it is super loud! Would not want it any louder.

Drove a truck with a 3/4 supply line and real train horns, had to watch the pressure gauges, they would use that much air. The ones yah get from truck stops sound like crap IMO, too high pitched.
