AIR HORNS...!! Anyone ever fitted them?

[mcbonio]

Hey all,
Anyone ever fitted any airhorns to thier e30? I have a pair of used Stebel Nautilius 139 Db horns, and I'm considering fitting them. The yanks love them but I think they may be over kill for UK roads.

I've tested them on my battery and they are ear splittingly loud.!

What do you all think?

Completely and utterly chav, avoid.

Ud probably get nipped for it if u were caught using em. I dont see the appeal in a loud horn.

[oldroydsr4]

Its not 1970 any more.

If you use them on a public road you risk getting a tug from the boys in blue..your call.

How come? Is there a noise limit or something?

I know motorcycle shops sell 140db airhorns for bikes. And my brother has no problem getting his lorry through the ministry tests with 2 of them fitted.

Air horns so overrated, you need these

[mcbonio]

Haha, thats awesome. Don't fancy having a full on air compressor in the boot though....

I got extra air horns fitted to mine as i thought the original twin horns sounded a bit week. I did have a Dixie horn fitted on a previous car. was a good laff sounding it when over taking someone ( I Know Big kid )

Why would you get pulled by the plod for an airhorn??? maybe if there playing dixie but doubt a standard air horn would even make the plod stop eating his do-nut!

[magpie]

fantastic.......












for a mobile shop or sandwich van

if they get pissy about ur exhaust being a bit loud i dont think theyr gunna approve of an ear shattering horn that makes everyone within a mile radius lose bladder control

[Morat]

They'll be too busy mopping up, surely?

[mcbonio]

I just thought it might be funny for trolling people and that... but now that I think of it I have a convertible, so they might just lean in and clout me.. lol

Meh I'll leave them off I think..

Anyone want a pair of Stebel Nautilius 140db air horns and relays??

[capri_rob]

Had some on my last Capri when I first got it ( talk about a cliche )

Drove it home, got tools out, took em off.

I always liked the idea of it as an additional horn, mainly for those types of predestrians that deliberately take their time crossing in front of you. But now I'm sailing into my thirties, the ideas worn thin..

[Steve-E30]

I changed the horn on my tech 2 to a claxon
scared the crap out of people so did its job

Check out the part about road traffic regs. Two tone horns are a no no apparently.

[daimlerman]

I have a triple air horn on the touring,great fun when the compresser sticks and I just get a two tone blast....
And a 'vintage' type klaxton on the cabbie that always gets a smile and a laugh!
