I'm guessing you didn't need a jack to get the car up in the first photo? Just a few toots of the horns should lift the back up :)

Photos were fine for me BTW

That was my first thought but the poster seems to be really happy with what he's done and it's pretty unique - all positives in my view.

Some people like dump valves and noisy exhausts, some like to scare the bejezus out of people with horns :)

Looks quality. Are they big bucks? Looks it - sounds remarkable. DB level louder than Chris' new side exit pipe/8"? :mrgreen:



Yeah these were quite expensive, importing them is the killer. Cost me over 500quid. But i still want more...... I need a bigger tank and a digital pressure gauge. Also on my wish list is a set of K3's which are half as loud again.

Heavy??? They is light as a feather...... they are cast out of High impact ABS, the tank is not heavy & the compressor is light as well.

Thats suprising, they look quite heavy, had a look at them on the website. All in all how much did this install cost with delivery and everything? I saw a video of a pick up parked next to a cruise ship and both horns were equally loud :twisted:
