You read that right, train horns haha. Little back story, my first car at 15 was a 1994 integra. The horns on that thing were wimpy as could be so I installed a train horns on it. Here's some pictures.
And here's a slightly dumb video for your satisfaction. I should of laid on the button longer in most of these, instead i just blipped it so i didn't get "in trouble". I was 19 at the time lol.
Anyways, 3 months ago I was tboned by a drunk driver going 65mph.. The car was completely crushed. I woke up in the ambulance but luckily I'm okay now.
Because of the accident I was able to buy my 07 TL-S 6mt. So what are my plans? To install the horns from the integra on the TL.
I just need to order the horns again themselves because they were destroyed, but the 2 gallon tank and compressor should be going in shortly . Pictures to follow upon progress!
Got some products in the mail yesterdayyy. My horns and solenoid are here! Unfortunately the electronic guage is on back order so I'll have to use my glowshift tank gauge for a bit.

Welcome to the TL train horn family. I installed mine back in the early fall. I have the hornblasters conductor special 540 series. Best investment I've ever made. A smile every time I hit it. I really like that pressure gauge, is that from them? The shocker series is phenomenal but I'd love to get a K5LA at some point. Obviously not for the TL, it wouldn't fit. I've been in the process of converting an old sub box to properly mount the 5 gallon tank and compressor and conceal it but have not installed it yet.
One thing to look into with your horns would be to upgrade your air lines to 1/2" to the solenoid. Makes a huge difference. Mine came with them but my cousin ordered the lower edition shocker and it was only 1/4" (I think) and the difference between mine and his is pretty significant.
Beware of the provided push-connect air fittings. The ones I had were good for a while but they over time have started to leak pretty bad. About 40-60 psi overnight. Lowes has the fittings in much better quality in the plumbing isle. They are about $7 but they seem to be much better quality.
Any way, if you need any advice on installing it hit me up.

Hell yeah man! Didn't know there was more of us out there haha. The pressure gauge is indeed from HB. Its just white in their photo.
Now do you mean 1/2" inner diameter or outer diameter? The hose I have now is 1/2 OD and it worked great when I had it on the integra.
I've heard the same thing about their fittings.. Do you have a link to exactly what you're talking about? aka which fittings??
Thanks dude! Any pictures or videos of your set up?
I'd love to get a gauge but I'm not putting a pillar in my car. If they had a smaller one, I'd put it in the cd holder in front of the shifter. Oh well though, the pressure switch is automatic anyway. It's O/D. I couldn't tell in the picture if it was or not. I ended up taking back the push connect and just picking up a crimp fitting. It seems 10x more solid and no leak at all. In about 2 weeks I'm gonna pull off my bumper and fix the front solenoid fitting so I'll snap a picture of them then. Well a better one at least.
I dont have a link, I just went to the store and found them in plumbing. last weekend I gutted an old sub box and put my tank and compressor in it. It has a clear front and a mirror base and looks pretty good. Plus it hides the wires and secures the tank. I'll take a picture of it tonight.

I'm going to custom make a little holder for the guage and stick it in the little triangle piece in the door!
Hmm so how did you run that high pressure line through the middle of inside the car??? And how did you get it past the hot engine to your solenoid in the front?

That's not a bad idea. I actually ran the air line under the car. The line is so hard to bend without kinking so i decided against running it inside and ripping my interior out. I drilled out of the trunk and ran it along the fuel/brake lines. It goes under the engine and up in front of the radiator. It'll be on the alignment rack tomorrow morning ill take some pictures of how i did it. it's not the cleanest install but i installed it using the factory jack in a parking lot. lol
