I would like to change my horn to a louder, deeper one that isn't so embarassing. Have any of you guys done this on our cars? I heard they sell decent ones fairly cheap at places like Pep Boys, is that right? And how hard would it be to install?

 

Yeah i had Hella air horns red ones! I paid $80.00installed at local auto stereo center! Very nice mod.

 

I had two air horns till they got water in em. they are a great safety upgrade, can save u from getting ran over by an 18wheeler on the highway when you are driving a lowered crx.

 

I put in two like universal horns from an autoparts place. i didnt realize they were both different tones though. i have one like normal car horn, like a gm or something, and one really high pitched one, lol.

 

yeah, I'd say if you have heard a vehicle that you like the (stock) sound of, get that horn from a junkyard or autoparts store

 

it is very easy to do and they sell them pretty much anywhere.

 

Cadillac horn

 

i love cadillac horns! personally, i have a triple air horn setup gracing my engine bay...got it for free from my uncle too, he was gonna use it on his work truck. its much higher pitched than one would think it would be. looks pretty damn cook under the hoodthough

 

hah thats funny
u just stock 2 caddy horns into my hatch. keep the stock ones its make a nice chime..

have fun wiring..

 

I want one that plays the Godfather theme.

 

hmmm...anyway to change my horn to, say, one that those big 'ol diesel trucks have? hahaha...i'm serious, it'd be fun to just blast the hell out of a horn like that in a little hatch

 

Thats what i'm sayin! I wanna get one of those big *** diesel horns and when people **** me off...they'll know they pissed me off.

 

i've thought about that before. and after my wimpy horn recently wasnt loud enough to keep a guy from backing into me , i think i'll get one soon. that will teach me to wait i've been toying with the idea for a year now.

 

Yep me too. Someone backed into me the other day, and I was slamming on my horn and nothing. He didn't stop backing up into me until he heard my car go clunk. Crappy honda horns.

Big ol Diesel horns??!! I have a big ol Diesel well a 1989 Ford F-350 Dually and well the horn in that thing is worse than my CRX!!! I was thinking about getting air horns for it and then going with some other kind of horn in the Rex cause kind of like a comedian said the other day "about a different horn" our horns sound like a polite gay guy "horn Honking""gay guy voice" "excuse me I'm here!!"

 

Not too long ago my buddies shop installed a TRAIN horn into a 60's Caddy. HA HA that thing was wicked!!! he set it off in the shop and almost blew out our ear drums. It's beautiful

 

so all these people with air horns.....where in the hell are you getting the air source from?

i suppose that wouldnt be a problem for the turbo people. before you know it they'll have it hooked up to the BOV or something

 

I would love to get a horn from a 2003 Accord, because from what I heard they're just what I want. Would it be cheaper to find one of those, or one from a Cadillac (since I could get an older one)?

Does anyone know just how hard the wiring is, and could you possibly explain it?

 

its usually just one wire, since when you bolt it to the body it gets its ground automatically. so just splice one wire and you're on your way

 

I stole the horns off of a 91 Mustang GT. It was totalled and the shop I was working at was doing a complete swapover into a 4 clyinder car...

I kept the horns and now have a beast of a horn.

 

yes sounds like a freight train

 

So I can just take the horn out of any car in the junkyard, and install it by splicing one wire? Why don't more people do this?

Does anyone know of any cars 1991 or earlier, that have a nice-sounding horn that's loud but not high-pitched at all? Obviously, I won't be able to find any really nice cars in the junkyard, probably not a cadillac either.

 

bump for my last question there...

 

i changed mine to an alarm siren, it would start off like a siren so you could pull people over<lol> then the longer you held it it would cycle through the different sounds, it was hilarious.
