I have a Klein setup. I live in NY, and have no issues with it. Works flawlessly.

You could easily coat everything with bedliner spray for corrosion resistance or get an aluminum tank, Lines are Poly, and horns come in stainless.... Problem solved! I was a native NY's, yep the salt & sand beats the **** out of all our vehicles... Not to mention the potholes in queens / LIE / BQEThe problem with that sort of setup up here in NY is that anything installed under the truck like that would be corroded into either a solid lump or into dust after one winter road salt season.

I had Nathan k5hl horns on my 5 ton front fender.Also had the correct train horn valve on the dash. Sold the truck but kept the setup. Thinking about mounting on my wifes 1500 4x4 sport.View attachment 207937
i think they should be illegal everywhere. Danger and could cause wrecks or possibly medical issues for the elderly. Those things are loud and i'm sure i would jerk my wheel in reaction to one going off next to me
You got that right!The problem with that sort of setup up here in NY is that anything installed under the truck like that would be corroded into either a solid lump or into dust after one winter road salt season.

I had thought of putting a loud horn on my truck after last November when a driver pulled into a partially obstructed intersection by a school bus to my right. That resulted in $6000 damage to my truck. Good thing I had slowed down from the 35 posted speed limit.
Anyway, I pass thru this intersection every day from work. Since my 4x4 is manual on the floor I have a perfect easily accessible spot on my dash for a push button where the 4x4 selector would normally be located.
I can think of a few other times I might need this louder horn:
1) When towing my 5th wheel and someone does something stupid entering the freeway or cuts me off.
2) When sitting at a light and I can see them playing with their phone and the short traffic light has already turned green for a few seconds and they're not moving.
3) When I see deer out in the road ahead of me.
4) When one of those so-called loud/legal Harley drivers drums his throttle next to me at an intersection.
5) Probably a few other uses too!
not really. i own several guns, had a CCW for 25 years and worked in law enforcement for several. but i am also safety conscious. I could see these horns doing more harm than good and I'm sure there has been at least 1 accident caused by them. The same people that use these horns were mentioned by someone else earlier. They are the ones that have the 50" tires with 9' lifts and blow black smoke everywhere because they need attention. Ever watch any Goonsquad videos on youtube? Guys screw up more vehicles than they fix. Bought a wrecked Duramax to tow their trailer and modded it so much they couldn't tow anymore so had to buy another one. And yep, they installed train horns.The same guy that thinks guns should be banned because they look scary.
Any noise making device should be legal as long its not misused. Example I have a Federal Signal siren. Completely legal. I even had Mr Officer come visit me. Nothing on the books that he could get me on. Now if i was code 3 and trying pull people over, I am sure i would be visiting Mr Judge.
Anyone running a set of train horns? I’m looking at purchasing a set but don’t know what sets are good quality and lower on price. I’m not dishing out $800-$1500 for a set. Or has anyone made their own?
I am a Canuck too-I am sure if I go blasting one of those I will be lit up 2secs after I hit it. Can you imagine someone behind you hitting one of those!!!Crazy Canuck ... What the hell ya want train horns for ?
