Have used Hella's...these are the best--gets the attention of those folks who insist on music so loud they can't here anything else or the ever popular cell phone junkies who drift from lane to lane...Not any more!

I replaced just one of the horns on my '03 w/one from autozone and it does the job nicely w/o being too loud. Front bumper has to come off to get it done right.

Good luck.

The wimpy stock horn drove me nuts. I don't honk very often, but when I do, I mean it.

I opted for a Stebel Nautilus because it's loud (139 db), compact, and has a dual horn much like Italian sports cars.

Here's what it sounds like.

Man, this thread has convinced me to buy a new horn, waiting on my stebel nautilus

Almost embarrassed so say that I am really excited and anxious for its arrival.

I have the FIAMM horns (from Advance Auto Parts). I like them. Affordable and much better than stock.

Just a note ... I used the stock horn wiring and had to add a slightly larger fuse (20 amp I think) because the stock fuse (15 amp) would pop after a few honks. The compressor just draws a little more power than the stock horns.

Here is a pic

I've had no problems with Hella horns. Had them on a few of my cars they sound pretty cool. Better than the whiny jdm stock horn imho

I replaced one of the stock horns with a Hella truck horn (seen mounted on the driver's side in the pic above). I decided to upgrade the horn after not being heard one too many times, and this sucker definitely solves the problem.

I also have the Hella Supertones, wired directly to the battery with the included relay and horn harness...

They're loud!

So there's no way to do this without taking off the front bumper (haven't looked to see where they are yet)? (got an 'o3 OZ)
