I put air horns in my 86 Van after I got hit cause a bozo couldn't hear me. Put a relay in place of current horn, mount air horn where convienent. Wire air horn compressor direct from battery via the relay. Voila, much noise. Cost about $35 at the FLAPS, JCW should be cheaper. Get one of those "diesel train" setups, would be amusing.
