I wanted to get your opinions on this. I am constantly being cut off on the road and people always seem to drive like total assholes around me, I never had as much of a problem in my last car. So latley I have been considering a train horn for the car, so I can blast when I get cut off intentially. Anyone have one of these installed?

Looks like they can be wired to a switch so they aren't wired to the main horn. I could mount the compressor in the trunk.

My buddy already has one in his lifted truck.
We tried it out in a residential neighborhood at 1am in the morning....
They musta thought an entire convoy of trains was going right down
the middle of their street. Too bad the nearest train tracks are 10 miles
away lol.
Words cannot express how LOUD it was. We were laughing our asses
off for a good 10 minutes.

Bad idea, guys. 
And probably illegal.
Why not just shoot the bastard! That would make you feel even better.

Seems to be the same with me Phil.
Everyone on the road seems to want to race me.
People tailgate me and cut me off all the time.
It gets very fustrating
No matter what kind of car it is from minivans, suvs, and trucks.
I dont get it

maybe it's not the other drivers 
either way, to the train horn IMO...spend the $$$ on some performance mods if you keep getting cut off or tail gated
