Do they still have a high pitch to them?



I am still loving my FIAMM from Harbor Frieght....they were $9.00 each (high and low tone).

They sound great.

I forget the DB rating on the package but just from my "ear" test they are LOUD!

Much louder and much more deeper/fuller tone than stock. I also think they have a much better attention getting sound than the stock ones.

Also they are plug and play no rewiring at all.

IIRC, they're 118db...if that means anything to you

do they sound like an air horn or a deeper and louder stock horn?

Deeper and louder stock horn...closest thing I can think of is it sounds alot like the horn off our old '72 Suburban.


Since they are not air horns...they don't sound like them.

To get a deep air horn you have to go with ones that are over 16" for sure. The short 8" ones will not be a deep tone....loud but not deep.

 

[erics_bruisers]

what about the hella airhorns?

Haven't personally heard them but I still doubt they would be a deep tone. Will they make soccer mom/granny who is drifting into your lane soil themselves...probably but it won't sound like a train.


This was discussed before and someone was or was planning on putting actual train air horns on their rig. I have a friend who has a set from a train on his Super Duty....holy crap they are loud and scary.

train or semi horns

now THAT would be sweet.....
wonder how big a compressor you need for them

I had the hella air horns on a rally car - they are freaking loud - scared the hell out of spectators that decided to wander onto an open stage. They didn't last long though - I think the mud destroyed the compressor part of them.

Interesting point....yet another reason Ih8mud.

Water and/or mud will kill the compressor. I've known people who've had them and replaced them a few times...until they got tired of killing the compressors...then they got the non-air horn type.

The FIAMM's from Harbor Freight are great. I had switched horns with my wife's Lexus and now I can switch her's back. As TX_TLC stated, it is a quick and simple plug and play install.

 

[tacomafj-80]

I put a pair of FIAMM airhorns on my tacoma. good kit-easy to install and it came wtih an air compresor. fn-loud!!.comes in real handy in El Pao where everybody is afraid of driving over 50 MPH on I-10. I plan on adding a aet to my 80 real soon. i think theres also a kit available with 3 horns.
