What are the best horns?
What are the best horns?
I searched, and most of the horn entries are VERY dated... I've decided that since I live somewhere with LOTS of old people who continually cut me off, etc etc., that I need a good horn
Preferably something really loud and noticeable.
From what I was able to gather from my searching/youtube browsing, many people (including a few orgers here) like the Hella Supertone Horns. Are these a good option for a horn upgrade? I own a 5.5 gen, but would like everyone's input. What horns have you tried/heard/own and what are the best and loudest as far as electric horns go?
Thanks all!

ive been researching horn options also, since i have moved ive been run off the road 3 times and have had semi's trailers pass over my front end as im spinning in reverse hand on the horn twice.THAT is scary, because you know no matter what you are ****ed when those wheels hit you.
after the second semi incident ive been looking up horns, hella has been the leader of my searches but i would like to see some more input.
air horns are an option for me, but i dont wanna thread jack.

Thanks... yeah, I'm not looking at spending too much, but would like something good. That's why I'm leaning towards Hella. That's probably what I'll end up getting. Unless there are other similarly-priced options that are louder/better?

too bad you have to have a compressor and tank somewhere to make these work.
I have been thinking about upgrading my horns for a while, i am definitely subscribing to see where this ends up
this is what I want for the max
Shocker Classic 127VX Train Horn Kit

haha the compressor is about the size of a coke can, i bought it from wolo mfg. it was like $40 and the horns came from some local shop... the whole setup was like $100. i originally got it for my alarm but i use it quite a bit with all the ^%$%$##$@ idiots in atlanta
Go to the wrecking yard and get a caddy horn. The combo of high and low is awesome. I did this on my Fiero, which already had a high pitched one, and it was amazingly loud and earsplitting. The dual tone has an affect that I cant explain, but its better than just one or the other.

My friend put a Caddy horn on his 80-something Corolla. It's loud as hell, and sounds nice, too. He got it for $5 at Pull-A-Part..

Haha my cousin used to have a Volvo C70 and the horn on that car was lame as ****. I think stock horn on 5th gen is pretty loud as it is...no? I prefer it then the 6th gen horn sound. 3G Acura TL has a loud as **** horn too.
I too am looking for some horns, i heard about some German horns made for cars on the Autobahn, they are supposed to be super loud and are 12v. In my research the only german horns that come up are Hella but nothing specifically for the autobahn. I just might get a small 2 horn set up that uses a compressor
Usually Lexus OEM horns are loud without the clownish sound you hear from most Hella Horns for our cars. Another option that is a basic bolt on are the 350z horns. They looks great as well.
OWOOGAH orn
New guy here... Hello to all.
Installed a Wolo OWOOGAH horn today; sounds like **** and it is annoying in the most entertaining way...
Not to be mistaken for a short ram air intake - will post pics later if possible.
