I especially like to come up on cellphone users and blast them. Often they jump, and drop the phone. You have to be careful, though, that they don't swerve out into you.

Takes the compressor about .5 secs to build pressure, but I assume all of them have that issue.

I reduced the time the for my horns to sound by replacing the thin walled air-hose supplied with the horns, with braided fuel line. The thin walled air hose expands with pressure and thus slows horn response time. The braided fuel line does not. I also mount the compressor very close to the horns, thus shortening hose length and horn response time. Doing these things made a difference.

As for the Wolo; I have been looking into it. Seems they are onsale for $34.00 at Harbor Freight til July 21st. Not sure if that is a good price though.

Let me know if you've installed one. I like that this one is one piece and black as opposed to my two giant red Hella horns.
