Anyone ever install a train horn in their WK2 (or any other car)? I saw a video online where people installed one for novelty purposes (had a separate button from OEM horn). . .

Haha... funny you should mention that. My buddy has one and we were gonna install it in my Hummer H2, but then I got rid of the Hummer for my Overland.
He put it into one of his trucks... the thing is really loud and illegal, but fun to play with!

I've installed several, but not in a WK2 yet. There is TONS of room to do this. Have to keep in mind that if you want the full effect, you'll need a good sized compressor and fast dump servos. The Nathan Air Chimes are my personal fav. Not only will you hear it 2 miles away, you'll feel it as well.

I just spent the last half hour PISSING MY PANTS watching the YouTube videos...Brilliant!
I am not nearly mature enough to use one with any sort of control or descretion..therefore I can only dream of such an install!

dudes

I recently installed an air horn on a 12 ram 1500. It was a kit off eBay which came with a Viair compressor, 1.5 gallon tank, pressure module (brain), gauge and 2 air horns. Loud as SH*T! Took a couple hours to do install the hardest part is routing the air lines. More than enough room on even Hemi Jeeps to do this kind of thing.

the horns pointed down once installed but you can see where I mounted the tank

oh, and regarding the air intake - we ended up doing a cold air intake on this truck

literally anywhere. probably easiest behind passenger side headlights facing downward towards street. You could essentially put them on a frame rail though

With regard to some comments on this thread on horns mounted in front of the radiator inhibiting air flow : I would not be nervous about that as the surface area being blocked is minimal. If you do a installation of horns and this bugs, you there are many other alternative mounting locations such as behind passenger side headlight etc.

Hi again,

Cooling is not an issue, like tuned8e said, the area blocked is minimal, I already tried it in slow traffic, going fast at more than 100 miles per hour, and there is absolutely no increase in temperature.
I tried blowing the horn at both speeds also...everything works well.
So if you want one I would just say : go for it !.

I have installed mine in an 2014 SRT. Hardest part was the trumpets in the front. Getting the bumper off and fitting them. The SRT has lots of room under the rear diff to fit the tank. It's all protected and sits well. I think the other Jeeps are totally different underneath to the SRT
