New Piaa airhorn
« on: May 19, 2010, 01:31:37 PM »

This unit looks to be fairly small, 4 x 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 .  Those of you that have modfied a horn to fit does this unit look like it may fit under the horn cover?

Just checked the PIAA website and Amazon.com.  No mention of an air horn either place.  Both did show something called a "Sports Horn" that is not an air horn and doesn't match the dimensions you cited.  Need you to cite a link to the product you're asking about to know more.

I was under the impression that this was a airhorn by the shape and 119db. I got the dimensions out of the whitehorse catalogue.The db and the size seems impressive to me

It's not an air horn, just a regular electric horn.  They don't indicate how they rated it at 115 dB; many horn companies advertise readings they take right at the horn rather than at a prescribed distance, so if they don't tell you how they measured it any comparison to a different horn is problematic.  Case in point: The Stebel air horn I use is rated at 139 dB at 4 inches, but only 115 dB at 6 feet.

According to the folks at Eastern Performance, the PIAA horn will fit under Harley horn covers but the bottom 1/4" or so will stick out.
