Maybe they're lowering the air pressure to drop the decibels a bit. I know a lot of people have complained at how loud those horns are.

The Silverliner V horns sounded great to me when I was out there last month. A heck of a lot better than LIRR's deliberately muffled M-7 horns.
What's the status of 738 and 881/882? Are they in regular service yet?

Little late on the story, aren't they.

No they aren't late with the story, just because the cars were on the property didn't mean they were accepted by Septa, the Dec 17th date reflects the date that all after production modifications and required running times were completed and the cars officially handed over to Septa from the testing/running in/ teething stage
