They're not listed in my mods list, but I have FIAMM horns on mine... forgot the price though. About $30 for both?!?!?!

I mounted an electronic "air horn" in my truck, and am considering putting one in the Maxima as well - especially after nearly being hit twice last week by SUVs that decided to merge into me while the drivers were yacking on their cell phones.

The horn isn't cheap, but it is real loud (over 130 dB) and sounds like what paramedic trucks use. You can get them from Galls for about $150.00 with the speaker. The horn never fails to get attention, and people ALWAYS move out of the way!

The Fiamms horns are pretty loud, easy to install too. You need 2 horns, a high note and a low note. Car sounds like an American car now, sorta like a Buick!

The one next to the fluids on the left side of the car (facing the car) is very simple to install. The one behind the grill is a bit harder because you don't have much room to work with. Russ2kse has some instructions if you want to take a look.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money you can pick up air horns from you local parts store for about 40 bucks. It may not sound as nice as the $150 horn, but it will get peoples attention!

I firmly agree. I would love to beef up the horn. Has that terrible Japanese horn. MEEP MEEP HI. I was thinking of installing the I30 horn. Much better sound, Will check the price. I'm sure more than 30$
