Where can I fit a 3l tank under the hood? - Subaru Outback

In my quest for a horn that will get the attention of all the morons on their cell phones drifting into my lane, I found this:

It sounds like this:

Listen

I can even get it in flat black so the horns would be less noticeable on the Surco roof rack.

Any ideas on where I can squeeze this puppy into my 2.5 n/a engine bay?

If you ditch the air intake tract, theres plenty of space under the hood for a 3/4 gallon air tank.

If the horns are going on the roof rack then you could put the compressor in the hatch and run the lines up the pillar, under the headliner and out a hole near the front rack.

If it were me, I would keep the horn stealth. I have seen several videos of guys who installed these on completely unlikely cars (like 300Zs and Mustangs) and watching people's reactions when they set that thing off was GREAT.

If he got it in flat black and put the horns on the bottom of the rack, they'd be pretty stealth I'd say.

Sounds great to me! How much do they cost? I wonder how much more they are than the hellas? They sure are much louder!

I highly reccomend these. (139 dB)

I've only got one, and it's **** loud. Having a pair would be awesome as well!

You should definately go stealth. You wan't the police looking for some guy with a mullet and a lifted 79 Ramcharger not a Subaru with silver pylons on the hood

Like sliver-surfer said, especially when the guy on the cell phone is scared so badly that he runs off the road and into another vehicle killing the occupants.
