Who has an aftermarket horn?

it sounds like a clown honking his nose. there's a guy on NCE that put in dual horns, so i was just wondering how many people actually modify it, and what you've bought.

a buddy bought horns from autozone and installed them... they are crazy loud. you have 2 horns already, but they do sound weak.

My buddy put in a horn from a Ferarri. Just make sure the bell is pointed down (so that water escapes)...

Now that I am winding down on the bulk of my mods and looking to little things, I was thiking of getting to my horn.

My plan is to use the factory horns that were in my Porsche GT3. They are very loud and sound fantastic. The only potential issue is that they are expensive but worth it IMHO. The Hellas are nice too but like the GT3 (which is probably the same as every other recent Porsche).

Much louder than the stock horn?

I do like the idea of a truck horn... just don't like hte Ideaof paying $300 for one... The most I'm willing to pay on this is $100... if that.
