    Hope everyone is well.

    Having recently picked up Street Fighter 4, I have decided to change my horn sound to the classic "Hadoken" sound Ryu and Ken make when throwing a fireball. I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with this idea but my search through old threads revealed nothing. Eventually, I would also like the car to launch an actual fireball when I press on the horn so I can keep the lane in front of me clear.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I don't think a thread title has ever actually made me laugh out loud until now. Thank you. That was brilliant. I hope you have an amazing day. Now I know I will.

    Unfortunately, only horns with one tone are permitted over here. MP3 horns would be a nice business, I think ;)

    Just as well, probably. For a time, Texas and SoCal were full of "musical" horns on blinged out machines.
    (La Cucaracha and Dixie were pretty common.)


    Radio Shack used to carry a mp3 sampler/replay module, such as the kind used for tapeless outgoing messages in a phone answering machine.

    I was thinking of rigging one up on my Celica AllTrac, so the horn would be from the 1954 classic film, ...
    ... Godzilla. ;)
    (But I'd have needed two horn buttons -- one for the full bass Godzilla roar, and one for the short little screech.)
    (Cf. the thread on car size bloat -- the Celica bulked up, over the years, too.)


    But the classic Fiamms do what horns are for: waking up the other drivers.

    Although even Fiamm has gotten into the musical horn business, with Il Padrino and O Sole Mio, in addition to Quando Quando, Dixie, etc.
    But I think they use a key fob for the "horn" button, and are installed in addition to the factory horn, rather than in place of.

    Repost, as it has already been done before.

    Search the archive for it. IIRC, all you have to do is connect your brake booster to your horn and upgrade the fuse. So whenever you press the horn, the booster will "supercharge" the air horn thus creat the sound of "Hadoken". The only side effect you will suffer is that the car will automatically apply the brake whenever you press the horn. As for the fireball part, you will need to remove the pre-cats and the main cats on the car then re-route the exhaust to the front then link it to your horn. It is easiest to re-route it direct through the cabin so it does not effect the aero underneath the car. Just be aware that you will have a hot exhaust pipe in the cabin so that you don't accidentally burn yourself by touch the pipe.

    Again, do a search under "Hadoken horn" and you shall find what you seek.

    PS: Check your local EPA law as this modification may not be legal.

    Check out JC Whitney. I think they have something like this, I was going to get one for our STLRBUG (my wifes VW New Beetle TDI decorated for the Pgh Steelers)

    The LED license frame was enough for her :)

    Check the Houston Art Car Klub, many of the members there have propane on board...

    YMMV, legal disclaimer goes here.....

    If the Fire Marshall shows up, there will be trouble....

    One of the guys here uses the ignitor off a hot air balloon, he can light oak trees on fire if he's careless....
