I have a 300 hp car that has a horn that sounds like it belongs on a moped.

My friend bought an unbelievable pair of horns for his WRX. It was really easy to install, like half an hour to an hour. I think he said it cost him like 60 or 70 bucks. They are loud as hell though. If I remember I will ask him where he got them.

I have some hella horns, they fit nicely into the front grill. This was before my body kit, now that I have the C-one ripoff you cant even see them in there. You could also spray paint them black and there would be no way in hell you could see em.

I also have horn envy...
I plan on getting a set of horns from a mid 80s LeSabre or mid 90s Roadmaster. Next to semis and freight trains I haven't heard a more intimidating horn. I really want one of these but I don't really feel like putting an air tank and lines in my car. http://www.funfreepages.com/videos/hornblasters.php --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |

I switched mine for a '00 Toyota Caldina GT4 horns I got from my clip - sounds much ballsier but kinda quiet. My friend has some red ones he got for free with his clutch or something on his Matrix. Those are really loud. I think I'm gonna get those when I run out of real mods to do.
Like as in probably never - but I do want them. --------------------  |

Hahaha this thread is amazing. I'm with manny, I caught myself laughing out loud when I heard jay present his horn woes.

Options? you damn ricer!!!! lol keep an ear out for what other car horns sound like. once you figure out what cars sound you like, pick up a spare horn from a junk yard and wire it in . almost anything should work since they all take 12v and just ground to the chasis. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
