Well after about 4 months of designing and trying different ways to make this work. We have finally come out with LPRacing's "Air Horns"

pat. pending
After running bullhorns on a few cars and feedback from some notable people, racers and tuners, we looked at the benefits and downfalls to bullhorns.

Now on a perfect track these may or may not be useful to the user, but it all depends on your car and your needs. But on marginal tracks, these can be a real benefit.

Depending on the way you choose to control them, electronically, they are almost unlimited. Instead of taking power out in certain instances the exhaust pressure can be used or taken away to hook the car better or tame it down.

Can be controlled by:
-time
-rpm
-wheelie control
-wheel speed
-boost
almost any possible way of control is possible....

The assemblies are available in 4"-4-1/2" and 5" aluminum. We are working on an adapter for steel at the moment and trying to make it the most economical way possible. They can either be welded or bolted on to the exhaust pipe. Assemblies are reversible for side to side use.

These are precision bearing assemblies and move free of friction no matter how much load is placed on them. They weigh less than a tradition v-band assembly and are completely self contained with no clamps.

Range is 0-67 degrees of rotation and speed of rise can be controlled by the size of orifice in the CO2 line.

Rotate the exhaust to change the direction of the downforce.

You can leave with the bullhorns parallel to the ground and then turn them up to an angle of 67 degrees, or put them back down whenever and wherever on the track.

Say you have a car that is picky off the starting line and doesnt need to downforce off the hit, but the car likes to climb around the 330 ft mark. Well leave with them down and bring them up around 2.5 seconds to combat that.

If it doesnt need them after the eighth, you can put them back down.

Or....

Connect them to a WOT switch that drops them down if not activated. If the car starts rattling the tires and the motor starts to climb rpm (thus creating more downforce when not needed) when you pedal the car they will go down and raise again once back in the throttle. Making for better recoveries in a pedal race.

Nice Lang! Any test data yet? Dependant on motor and turbo size this could potentially put 150lbs+ of downforce on the nose at any point in the 1/4mi. Used in conjunction with the AMS2000 boost control and trigger outputs, you just might raise the bar in non-wheelie bar racing! :D

hahaha, trust me if i could come up with a way to make them not ugly i would be rich:rolleyes:

bull horns are like an ugly girl with money.........once you start getting something out of them they sure do start looking good

Awesome idea!! Anybody that has a ams1000 or who will get a ams2000 can control these with the aux channel. No problem! AMS stands for Air Management System.

With the ams1000 it can be time or shift or variable voltage...1 of them only.

With the 2000 it can be time, speed, air temp, tps, map, or any of the other inputs combined or single!

First off, we just want to thank everyone for being patient.

Thanks to Jason Enos and Proline for testing these for us over the last 6 months. Between them and ourselves at LPRacing we have tried and succesfully put these through every scenario possible from installation to how they work at the track and made the necessary changes.


LPRacing's "Air horns" are available now in 4, 4-1/2 and 5 inch aluminum assemblies in stock and ready to ship. (Steel will be special order)

These are a precision machined, bearing assembly that is hand assembled and adjusted here at LPRacing using the highest quality materials. They are easily controllable through your boost controller (ams, hyperkontroller, e-boost, etc.) and can also be controlled with a single event switch (bs3, xfi, msd-time, rpm switch, etc.)


Air horns are now machined with a female v-band flange to attach to the exhaust pipe assisting in mounting and getting the vehicle in and out of the trailer.

Air horns can benefit any car from radial cars to outlaw 10.5 cars to pro extreme cars and can be controlled to help every car in any way the user would like them to.
