Old Lada With Locomotive Horn Isn't Exactly Music To The Ears

We think you already know this video comes from the folks over at Garage 54 – the team of talented mechanics with crazy ideas for custom builds, based mostly on Soviet-era vehicles. This new 10-minute video doesn’t make a difference in that regard but it is something the team has been asked for many times. Can they fit a very powerful horn to a Lada?

The short answer is – yes, they absolutely can. But in a typical Garage 54 fashion, this isn’t just a big horn installed somewhere inside the engine bay and powered up by electricity or compressed air. The approach is much more scientific as the team decides to install a throttle body on the car’s exhaust pipe and use exhaust gases to generate sound. This is a Russian engineering marvel in its finest form.
