Horn Upgrade

[project_x]

My horn sounds ***. Anybody know of any decent sounding horns we can throw on our rides to make em actually make someone move instaed of laugh.

I put a Wolo air horn in mine when my stock horn failed. If you watn stock sounding and tons of noise I'd go for an old chevy horn... those things are loud as hell.

i thought about a air horn but they seem like alot of work to install i'm just looking for a somewhat stock upgrade. i was looking at a 2006 impala horn im sure i could make work.

Maybe hella supertones or something. My friend just put them on his 3 and they sound pretty good and very loud too.

The wolo I have is a self contained air horn, just run power wires to it and it works. I would recommend you get something different though, I have to spray it with WD40 every once and a while to keep the dual tones working.

where do you have it mounted?? it seems like all the newer horns actually look like a horn shape instead of just a disc.

Well I haven't taken off my bumper to mount it properly so right now it's wedged between a coolant hose and my battery.

This is what it looks like:

Gotta a website for those. I was looking at ebay , someone has typeR horn set for 99cent starting bid and $12 shipping but they come from japan or somewhere far and says i might have to pay for customs charges they look alright and are 110db. they look pretty stylish too even tho you cant see them.my bumpers are off right now so now would be a good time to do em.

Just google them and you'll find install threads, pics, all you need to know. I think they are 118db and the going rate it like $60+/- I think they have a nice sound, kinda like an older porsche 911 turbo if you get the the high tone ones. I think they sell high tone and low tone sets if Im not mistaken. Also they are disc shaped so easy to install, although I know they also sell that long airhorn style too but I dont know how those ones sound.

I'm sorta looking at using a real air horn, aka



That's a train horn, which would be awesome too, but a single horn would be fine.

Comes down to how cheaply I can do it. If I could re-valve an old fire extinguisher tank and a solenoid on the cheap... and then maybe find an air horn in the junkyard...

Even then, I'd have to see how many blares you could get off before a recharge of the air tank is necessary. I wouldn't be carrying an onboard compressor.

Fords have good horns.

Any domestic, really. Just hit up a junkyard, grab a few and wire them up. See which ones you like best.
