Do you mean automotive airhorns or something different?

I have a pair of Fiamm air horns. I'll try to pop some pics when I've got time... they're an easy fit anyways.

I used to. All I did was mount them on the standard horn bracket, pointing down.

standard automotive air horns are loud enough, i had a set in my blue 244, and i will put them in my 242 when i find the time. what you want is way awesomer. if you mount the tank and compressor in your trunk you could have enough space under the hood/ behind the grill for the horns? but im not sure if the long air line would deteriorate the noise levels?

and also, i'm sorry for going offtopic, but if iwasnt getting rid of my car it would already have the train horns in it. the best place is the 4, black chrome horns under the rear bumper. Hang the tank in the trunk and run all the lines obvsily to the front. you'll have a switch to arm the compressor, and a switch to blow the horn. it doesnt include the switch for the compressor, but i wouldn't want something like that to run all the time off my battery/ altnator, so with the switch, you getto control that ish. / end of useless inofrmation/

so I know this is an old post but the idea of putting an air horn in a 240 has come up again. The horn I currently have (which i think is stock) can't be heard if you have any music on. SO I want to put in a full blown air horn. Any Ideas where to locate the horns?
