I'm really happy with mine. Look great, sound great and are very loud! Just the ticket for the soccer mom on the cellphone who starts to drift into your lane. One blast and the look on their face is priceless.

I've got em too........they're great quality and an easy install (LOUD too..........)

Really worth the money if you need to get someone to "pay-attention" to you on the freeways etc........

Slooow down ,my brain can,t work that fast. I just figured out how to use this web site a week ago. My son the comp. wiz left for collage and i,m on my own. Give me a little time and you will probably be tired of me. But they mount right in front of your existing horn. You leave the cow bell to use to hide the compressor in. They give you a new bracket to hang it all on and it all fits well. Very neet job. Only if they could give better hose clamps and somthing to cover the ends of the braided lines. Oboy somethink else to think about. But still a very nice addition.
