Been looking at air horns for the truck. Seems some now do not require a onboard air tank. The run on a direct drive unit (looks to be about the size of a beer can). Anyone have any kind of air hornage?
Price?
Sound?
Ease of installation?
Can you still keep the stock horns functional?

I want to mount them up front and in the engine bay / front grill area so they are out of sight.

I have one. It's for a motorcycle, but can be used on any vehicle. 130 dB instead of the 79 dB of the stockers.



I mounted it under the hood latch bracket.



The bracket was an easy fab.



I have both the stock horns and this horn run from a toggle. I can switch to either horn. I had a few issues with figuring out the wiring required but now I think I'm good to go and should get it buttoned up this weekend.


Oh, and your questions:

Price = $35.00 plus shipping.

Sound = LOUD - 130 dB compared to 79 dB

Ease of installation = medium difficulty, I'd say. Not for the novice with no mechanical skills.

Stock horns functional = yes, but wiring it is complicated.

Blackbeauty, thanks your the man. Pics are great. Now I have something to go on. I will probably have a qualified shop do the work for me. I'm no good at wiring.
*You had to take the grill off? Was that hard? Would a shop be able to do it without messing it up?

But yours look like it is at least as loud if not more and more space saving.

What is your brand? Price?

I have an airhorn and love it. Mine sounds more like a fire truck horn but it still gets everyone attention. It is mounted under the drivers side and the tank hangs down about 2-3 inches below a cross beam. I would have to high center the truck to hit it and the subframe for my lift would hit first anyway. I did not install it but the person who did said it wasn't to difficult. I still have my factory horn which I barely use anymore. I paid around $350 for this set up from gabbert airhorns it is the emergency airhorn kit. Here is a link for the kit and a sound clip.

Demonw3, thanks for the pics and info, this will help alot when I go to the place where I will have it done.
Can't wait to have this done. I have wanted to do this since I got a Frontier in 1999. I actually added 2 additional stock horns to my 2nd Frontier, 2002 4x4 and it was somewhat better. But I want to have a big boy horn now with my 04 Titan. I been putting it off, till now. Sooooo many people need to wake up and get off the damn cell phone, this will help me - help them.
Thanks again.

The cell phone is my biggest enemy! I drive with my lights on all the time and people still do not see me but they do hear me when I blast them with the horn.

I'm right there with ya brother! I am tired of near misses from cell phone idiots. I want my new horn(s) to leave alittle poop stain in their pants.
I scared my mother inlaw with it a couple days ago. My son like to play with the switch and she was behind the truck. She normally does not cuss but she let a few words fly.:jester:

It's a Stebel Air Horn. You can google it and get dozens of hits. I got mine from Biker Hiway dot com, but I just found one for $32+....
