Was watching videos of these things.
I enjoy my Hornblasters Shocker XL kit with a 5 gallon tank.
Lots of people love em, lots of people hate em. I don't do pranks, I only use it when someone comes into my lane (and they go right back the #$%^ where they came from) or with deer. The deer are funny. They run out in the road and you hit the horns and they start scrambling on the pavement like a scared cat on a linoleum floor in the kitchen.
If you're within 30 feet of it it hurts. I know this, because a few times I drove it to work, got home, drove in the garage, closed the door, was getting out and my lunchbox hit the steering wheel button... man if I'da had to pee i think I woulda. ;D ;D ;D ;D
I also added a Chevy C60 airbrake gauge where the blank one normally is to keep up with the 150psi the horns have in the 5 gallon system. I like stock look. my gauge is an 80's version but the 70's versions are like finding hens teeth and when you do find one they're prohibitively expensive. I'm happy with what I have though. have all 4 horns under the hood on the front half of the LH wheel housing. Compressor mounted on the RH wheel housing. even made a manifold for it that takes normal air hoses so I can use it to pump up tires or whatever you may need air for...
Can't promise there's no swearing but here ya go guys. get to see the gauge and hear the horn.
I love em but don't be an idiot with them.

Found this old video to show my setup. There is swearing in the video
When you rebuild your gauges and want the needle color to match, Use Testors model paint Fluorescent Orange #1173
