Hella Supertone Horn

Hi guys. I am thinking I want a new horn in my 01 max! I want something loud so people can hear me. I read some threads about the Hella Supertone horn, but all the links for the audio clips where dead. Can any1 please help me out and post a clip of how this hown sounds?

Also how would this horn compare to the 350Z horn? Which would you pick, and why? Thanks again in advance.

I remember someone having a sound clip, but in all honesty, you won't get anywhere near the full impact with a clip. I have them and love them. About 118db. Plenty loud......

It can be plug and play, or you can use the relay supplied with the horns. Guys have done it both ways. I used the relay because about 2 years ago when peeps were first installing these, there was talk of the horns blowing fuses. I think the horns may be a bit louder with the relay, but I'm not 100% sure.

i just installed the camry horns and they're much louder than the stock weeny horns. sound is also deeper like the domestic cars. they come in handy quite often.
