An employee where I work once brought in a train horn.  We hooked it up to
the shop air system.  We even measured the air volume consumed.  That beast
used something like 25 cfm @ 90 psi.  It really was a draw on our airline,
but it made a huge sound!  Sure hope you use large enough plumbing.  It
should be a BLAST to sound that one off in a traffic jam.

Next week I am going to purchase an actual train horn to mount on my SHO.
The airtank and compressor are going in the trunk, but the 3 horns are going
under the hood. The dimensions of the horn are 16x14x10, and i was wondering
if by removing the airbox resonator where the silencer cone is located would
give me enough room to mount this. (I will probablly also be taking out some
of the wheel well if more room is needed.

In replace of the airbox, i am going to try the ram air insturctions in the
FAQ on SHOtimes.

do you guys think that this will work??

once the horn is on, i will throw up a video and sound clips on the internet
for all to see!
