Default I need a HORN!

Since I am unable to post in the classifieds or the Off Topic I'll try here....

I need a stock tC horn. Im not sure how to get my hands on one. How much will this cost? How can I get one?

well I have done something a little diffrent on my XA with the horn I bought an air horn set up at autozone and installed it it's very easy to remove the front grill you can do this while leaving the stock horn intact or you can upgrade that to to a blaster horn so when I hit my horn when somone pulls in front of me first the blaster horn goes off then less than half a second later they are blasted by three air horns and the blaster horn it sounds like a semi truck and somone will think twice about cutting the next person in a small car off I've spent a total of 70 dollars upgrading the horn system and it took a total of one hour. suprisingly local stero shops will install these in scions cheaply if you bring the horns it takes five minutes to remove the front grill good luck I think the factory horn is wimpy and inadequate with all the large trucks and suv on the road. just my 2 cents

Or you could buy a set of Hella Supertones from safedrives.com. Hehe I love these horns. They're so loud! =P

TheBeat: I replaced the horns in my xB with something louder, I have both stock horns (high & low pitch) just laying in my garage. If they fit the TC and you want them, you cover shipping and you can have them. Just let me know if you want em.

Sorry, I sure don't know. Do you have pics of yours? If so, send em to me or post em and I'll compare them to what I have.

I know that the xB has two horns (a high pitch & a low pitch) but other than that I don't know much about em.

the stock horn seems to be inadequate people laugh at it and pay it no mind I just added a blaster horn in with my airhorns got rid of the factory horn altogether wow it's loud now they think twice before cutting me off I wish I had the room my friend has an 8 mile horn that is used on an oil rig but it takes a big compressor he's thinking of putting it on is big rig if it would fit I'd put that thing on my car it's the loudest horn I've ever heard in my life. good luck with your horns
