Mate had one on a golf. Was one of the kits with small elec compressor and some air lines to two different horn trumpets. Sounded a bit like a fish van tbh lol.

It wasn't one like a truck air horn.

If you YouTube "train horn on car" or something similar, you'll find lots of amusing videos. Lol

yeah thats the effect i'm looking for.. i have a spare switch i could use for it... so i could keep original for general use... then my other switch for comedic value... :L

What you need is obviously the air horn itself, an air tank if you want to use bigger horns, a compressor to build up the air pressure in the tank, air pipes running from the compressor to the air tank and the air tank to the horn, then you just need the electrical side of things.

I had the small electric compressor type myself. It sounded okay with longer trumpets. Quite loud

A friend had a full sized compressor and 'train horns'.......excessively loud!!! I mean OMG loud!
This is in a landrover though. I don't think you could fit it in anything smaller tbh because of the compressior and tank size. It would take up a clios boot.
