Default Authentic Air Horn

I am considering considering purchasing the Authentic Air Horn manufactured by Meister Industries, sold by select HD dealer (only found 3 so far). Does anyone have any experience with this product?

The web site doesn't provide tchnical details or any way to contact the manufactuer with any questions. I don't want to call the delaer and get the usual parts counter BS. This set up costs about 150 more than Rivco or Howard's Horns similar systems, and before plunking down the extra money, I need to know its worth it.

One issue I have is the wiring for it: does it utilize hevy gauge wire and a relay, or does it just plug into the exiting wiring and draw through that? (Could be a problem down the road)

Just about any bigger horn will require a heavier wire and a relay, but the web site doesn't say anything about that.

Still, $359?

From their audio sample, the Stebel sounds better and is $300 cheaper.
