Train Horns for Cars and Motorcycles

With more and more of us purchasing smaller and smaller cars, a lot of drivers are starting to feel like the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield: we are simply getting no respect on the highway from the remaining SUVs and other monster vehicles still guzzling gas on the nation’s highways. Now, with the popularity of extremely loud and distinctive train horns for smaller vehicles, that’s all starting to change.

You will want to look into your area’s laws before purchasing a train horn, and you should exercise some judgement in actually using them. That being said, however, when it comes to getting attention, there is really no substitute for a train horn. Below are a some of the products out there that we’ve found.
The El Diablo Air Horn is said to transmit a devilish sound that might well make rude and obnoxious road warriors feel as if your Ford Festiva or old VW Bug is a vehicle possessed. It also includes some prominent trumpet like horns that are likely to get visual attention.

At a very modest price of about $450, this horn really does seem to deliver the goods and it’s not hard to install. Also, we like the name. Consumers wishing to nevertheless avoid anything diabolical might prefer something named after a mere biblical antagonist. The Goliath Super Train Horn Kit is, we are promised, a worthy foe for any other train horn on the market. With three trumpets, it’s also most impressive to behold.

On the other hand, you might not be too concerned with physical size. If a big sound with smaller horns works for you, then consider the Maximus Horns Level 2 kit.

Of course, some of us are just plain underfunded and/or thrifty. For those looking for a big sound at a small price, there’s this…

The Chrome Hawk Air Horn does not have the most fearsome name, but it’s very inexpensive (about $50.00), it installs easily, and we’re pretty sure it still startles traffic transgressors effectively. Bang — or beep — for your buck is what this is all about.
