This isn't really a technical or interior/exterior deal, so I'll toss it in here.

So, I'm out in the garage the other day, minding my business... working on the truck, when I look down at my cheap air horns and notice that one of the red plastic trumpets is gone.?!? At first I was like "who in their right mind would crawl under my truck just to steal ONE of those cheap horn trumpets?" then I was like "that stupid thing must have fell off while I was going down the highway the other day".
Later I thought "I bet that's gonna sound even worse now than it did before so I'd better do something".

So, I took both trumpets off, re-did the hose from the pump to the remaining trumpet & noticed that that red plastic trumpet was about to fall out too. I managed to pop it out & glue it back in (for now) and get that one connected back & somewhat working, but it sounds even more wimpy than before now.
It used to sound like "Squaaaaaaaaa" but now it's more like "squeeeee".

Any ideas on how to "Redneck engineer" a new trumpet onto the old housing to make some noise? I'm thinking some PVC pipe, maybe the top section from a 2 liter pop bottle, some duct tape...

I'm probably going to pull the entire thing out and put in some better horns (whenever Clinton can make it back to his JY again :) ) and use these on my riding lawnmower to annoy my neighbor this summer.

We now return you to your normally scheduled nonsense.
 
Ew...Yeah my Bro was there in the Hellmand province with the brits 2 years ago. They lived out of mud huts for 7 months. That was his 4th tour between there and Iraq
