I can't imagine the effect that would have in stop and go traffic.

I've got a pair of air horns from an old 2-ton army truck... If I could just find a place to mount 'em, I'd finish up the restoration and get 'em installed. I've got a CO2 tank (paintball) and low-pressure regulator (around 100 psi is low for a paintball setup) so I won't need a compressor. They just need so much space! If I went for a 1-ball exhaust, I could mount 'em in the hole left from the removed muffler...

I did too. The rolling echoes are the thing that really makes the clip.

Nope. If you really want to get their attention, do what a buddy of mine did. He savaged a set of locomotive horns. When you blasted those things behind you, you became unglued.

Love it. I could use that for the people who follow too closely. They might actually back off.

I sat there laughing and then realized I might hate those guys if I was at the other end of the horn.

on a more serious note, a pair of Stebel Nautlius horns are a good compromise for the MINI.

That would be cool to add the ships horn, but what I find funny is how loud the MINI's stock horn is. It's a manly horn.

In actuality, since I picked this Jet Black Cooper S up, I don't think I've pushed the horn button yet. Now, on my old SG, it did sound pretty aggressive.
