either of the high-low signaltone horn pairs will give a very effective blast... Probably want to use a horn relay to be sure not to overamp the existng hardware...

I've been craving the oceanliner horn, but haven't figured out where to mount it...

 

I put Fiamm Highway Blasters on mine. They went right back in the stock locations and I have a big car sound now. They get attention without being illegal like the hornblasters.com stuff. They were also about $16 each.

 

thanks everyone. i'm still checking all my options. keep them coming...JAKE

 

i installed PIAA sports horns

 

There is a new air-horn and compressor unit that is about six inches square.
I replaced one stock horn with this air horn. $36 on E-BAY. RED with white wires.

Yes, use a relay to protect your weak stock switches.

 

What? Nobody wants 'la cucaracha' for their horn? LOL!!

I have put an ooooaaaaggggaaahh horn on every car I have owned including my classic cars to my new cars. Soon to have one on my XB. I also got a bull horn one which is really loud but I only used it once since I liked my other traditional mod horn better. So I guess that was $60 bucks down the drain.... I will eventually resell it but it is way loud and gets everyones attention.

 

Those plastic air horns with their own compressor really do the job. They say GET THE F OUT THE WAY!!! Just make sure to use the relay so you don't fry the horn circuit.

 

I have the two tone factory horn So I bet if you hooked both sides to one horn you would not have to use a relay because the current draw would not be to big. I am not sure how loud my horn is but it scared the ____ outa a few people.

 

I say NO! You do need the relay. You will fry the tiny stock switch and pay bigtime for un-needed repairs. The relay has it's own power source from a live battery terminal (with an in-line 15A fuse) or a fuse that is hot all the time.

THE 4 WIRES NEEDED ARE:
The current horn wire will be the TRIGGER into the relay.
Ground wire from the relat to any ground.
New wire from relay to horn.
Power to the relay from a hot source.

Those are the 4 wires needed for the relay. Do the extra work and save in the long run.

The relay is next to the headlight. Those white wires lead to it. I labeled each side of the relay and wired it up. Now I can blast to my heart's content.

 

I need a ball with more horns.... Anybody able to help with that one?

 

hella has nice replacements...

or go big...truck air horns!

 

the WOLO 118db horn sounds lame IMO, I did that one first, and pales in comparison to the stock horns.

 

yes please :D

 

i will sell the bull horn that i never got to use on my car... loud and unusual

 

naw naw... this horn has the Roadrunner's "beep-beep"

i know a guy who has one.... it sounds better and more like the Roadrunner...

you can buy any aftermarket horn and wire it in.

 

this is the non road runner horn
