Default Train Horn in my A6 LOL!

I found this old video of my previous car. a 98 a6 2.8L

I used to have an air horn setup, it was awesome. As loud as a freight train for sure.

Nothing says "Get the Hell Out of My Way" better than this and mean it too.

Actually kind of lame video. That being said, a train horn accessory with a 2-3 gallon compressed air tank and electric compressor works pretty well.
JC Whitney is a relatively cheap supplier of these things.

Years ago I had an electric compressor-operated three-four horn Italian setup that worked pretty well, lots less expensive, weighed less, but tended to clog up with snow in the winter (don't ask). The compressor also tended to wear out in a couple of years.

The OEM Fiam horns off an old Fiat worked well, but the almost identical aftermarket kits were not near as good.
