new horn

Just a thought, what kinda trouble would I be getting myself into if I wanted to put an air horn in my 99? Such as price and fabrications. Any ideas?

if you get horns for $200 you're wasting your money. They won't sound good at all. The kit shown in the how-to is around $600.

Even easier way IF you can find them is 6v Kenworth horns. Run them at 12v and its incredible.

Also marine horns. Plenty loud and still only electric.

I wouldnt bother with Hella if your looking for a loud deep sound...I bought a Hella 3 trumpet kit...biggest waste of money and time, they sounded like a clown horn at the circus. Too high pitched and annoying IMHO.
