Hey all, I've a 2001 Civic hatchback, and I'm wondering how I can adjust my horn, or is it easier to replace it ?

I supplemented my car's stock horn with a train horn..

Just replace it. If you want to go cheap, go to a salvage yard and grab one off of an old Caddie - they're plenty loud. You could get one for just a few bucks....

Oh, $600 or so for a good powerful 12 volt air compressor, a D.O.T. approved air tank, electric air valve, weatherized pressure switch and relay and the buell train horns. Long term investment! I got the hornblasters shocker 240 kit. The horns themselves are about $250

Where do you get the stuff? Junkyard? Or just at some store?

Just google train horn kits or train horns for cars. The $600 kit has 4 horns but, you can get them as low as $300 w/2 horns. Usually they come with instructions but, there are all sorts of DIY's online.

In my opinion they are more like semi-truck horns but, the 4 and six horn setup are F'ing loud. They're the closest thing to an actual train horn you can get. Actual train horns are harder to find, usually have to be re-built, and more expensive. Go to one of the train horn forums to find out more.

just think, the person your trying to inform WILL know who to look at instead of looking around wondering "whos honking at me?" XD

Ya Don't buy those 3-trumpet chrome horns! They don't compare to the 4-trumpet plastic train horns from Buell http://www.buellairhorns.com/auto-c-108.html
You can't get any closer to a real train horn than it! plastic tubes and stainless steel diaphragms, lifetime warranty. The bassiest horn you'll ever have.

If any of you guys ever decide to buy a system, be sure to watch lots of youtube videos and compare all the imitations with real train horns..

--No, nothing came from a junkyard , it all came as a kit with all the air lines, tank, Viair compressor (they are 1 of the best 12V compressor companies out there), horns, fittings, thread sealant, ear plugs, wire, etc. http://www.hornblasters.com/products...train-horn-kit




To start off your night of train horn watching...

Buell plastic train horns, called, "s4/HB4H/Hornblaster Shockers/Buell train horns" are the bassiest of the horns in this vid

Heh, no they won't if you don't want them to! Not if the horns and everything are under the hood, especially if there are SUVs all around !!
