    A good driver shouldn't even need a horn,, or so my 1st boss said 40 years ago. He was kind of right.

    Horns are for people to aggravate other people and for kids that give you a hand pump. The WallyMo parking lot would also be a lot quieter without them.

    I was under the understanding a city horn is required but an air horn is not?

    Go with the 425...the 575 may be a little excessive.

    Or, mount one of these to the deck plate.It's got a Hemi, and was considered the loudest air raid siren ever produced. Oddly enough, it was never actually used.
