i hate the road runner, vw bug sounding horn on fc's. so.... any ideas on another horn from a stock car that sounds better?
and also install would be just cut positive and negitive and splice in new horn right?

 

The stock horn from the GM trucks is pretty mean and non-girly sounding. Due to all the dumbass drivers I've been encountering lately, I just bought a 4 trumpet train horn and put on my ****, though. I got to use it tonight when a redneck in a truck pulled out in front of me. Let's just say that he swerved his *** over onto the shoulder when I blew that ****!

 

nice i was looking for something like that, something easy i can pick up on my next junk yard visit

 

train horns FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I run Fiamm dual air horns.
It sounds like an Italian exotic and FREAKEN' LOUD.

I was running those too, untill one of them died. Now I've got a set of 1930's vacuum horns, and they're as loud and deep as any air horn I've heard. They're going on as soon as I can find a vacuum resevoir, as these cars don't really provide much vacuum.

 

Ha, this was the first mod I made to my car.

From the wreckers I found the biggest, heaviest and oldest Cadillac I could and took the horns from it. The tone was much better, exactly what a Man's Horn should sound like. They bolted up in the stock locations with a little bending on the brackets.

Since I had to move the horns when I put in the FMIC, I then went to a dual trumpet air horn set. Much louder, but the tone was not as good as the Cadillac horns.

 

My dad's austin-healey had horns that sounded like they came off of a semi. You needed it in a car that small, though.

 

I still perfer old Datsun car horns

 

my BMW has an awesome horn. I used horns from another on my car. German cars have awesome horns.

the stock horn is pretty wimpy,

 

I just replaced the horns in my '87 GXL. When I started, I didnt realize there was three horns to remove. When I unplugged the first horn and hit the steering wheel and still heard a beep, I dug deeper. In front of the rad, behind a plastic shield were two more.
I went to the wreckers last week and grabbed a dual horn off a '92 Lincoln. I reused a combination of the Mazda bracket and the Lincoln bracket and just plugged the RX7 wires directly on to the Lincoln horns; no splicing.
Before, I was embarrassed to toot my little beep beep. But now it is stronger and deeper but seems softer. I don't mind laying on the horn...I actually enjoy it. ; )

 

nice i still have yet to do this, im looking for a deep angery sound that suits the car, any one have sound clips?

 

Duke's of Hazard horn, man.

Any horn will work. I bought a generic cheepo horn from Canadian Tire. It sounds much better than the bicycle bell that came on the car, more like a large car's horn.

 

haha nice, I was thinking this same thing today, I refuse to ever sound my horn, it sounds terrible! I'm going to have to hit the junkyard soon.......

 

hmmmm train horn 'eh? yeah i just might have to with the way people drive out here

 

The horn broke in my '7 but I didn't know for the longest time since I use it about once a month...

The horn did come back for a little while, then it went away for good. I can still hear the relay click when I hit the button. Anybody know what I need to fix?

 

la cucaracha is always good

 

Train horns or Hella Supertones. Too bad I don't use them enough to worry about them.

 

hahhaha ur ride is dub mag quality homey. know wut im sayin? haha

 

^^ stfu

 

Chances are you just need to replace the actual horn. A new horn shouldn't cost very much. You can put 7 or 8 of them on if you like.
It could also just be a bad connection. There should only be a positive wire going to it. Make sure the connection is good and also check where it bolts to the body to see if it has good metal contact for the grounding.
