anyone put a louder horn on their max yet? i think the one that comes on it is quiet...anyone know how much a new horn would cost? i want something loud

 

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

 

The stock horn does have a lispy "coming through" kind of sound to it

 

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!

 

how complicated is the install for the FIAMM's?

 

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!

 

Check out this link ... this is who I got them from ... very helpful & friendly guy. These are by far louder than the trumpets!!!

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$
