I know a guy with this. Mounted behind the grill of his STi....or is it a WRX. Either way it's mounted in front of the intercooler. It's pretty small and everyone looks at it confused about what it is. I myself was leaning in for a closer look and he hit the horn. I fell down.... It is LOUD
Is it a normal sounding horn or a air horn type sound?

I'd mount 15lbs of useless sound pollution in the nearest dumpster...or on a low rider with 13 x 8 wire wheels stickin' way out past the fenders and mudflaps. The only weight worth adding to an Evo is something that makes you faster or better handling...IM(Sarcastic)HO.

PS: I expect that the popo would love to hear an obnoxious train horn...One more excuse to pull an Evo owner over for a "vehicular "checkup."

Im sure it weighs like nothing. It looks kinda interesting and i bet people will always lean in for a look. It's like a really loud high pitched sustained metallic ping.....thats the best i cant describe it. It doesn't sound like an air horn, train horn, or regular car horn thats for sure.

I know someone with a 1st gen Prius and has that exact same horn mounted directly on the hood. I guess he was getting bullied by trucks. I just shake my head when I see it. Have to get a pic.

If you actually get this, mount it on the roof......like a semi...and then you'll wanna get the mud flaps...and then you'll wanna get the yellow sticker 'Caution....this vehicle makes wide turns' and stick it on your bumper.....both sides.....and then you'll wanna get the pull string to actually sound the horn...like a trucker.
