Suggestions for a more substantial sounding horn?

My horn works, but it a little week. (Actually, it’s downright embarrassing to hit the horn button.) I’m not looking for a crazy air horn, just something that commands a little more respect and attention. Suggestions?

Go for the "Dixie" style dukes of hazard horn

That demands super-max respect....when people hear it they will think you are a total badass...like you are going to go and jump their car or something.

In fact, if you hit THAT horn before making a jump.... it's guaranteed to give you about 3ft. more of a vertical jump. Scientifically proven by multiple re-runs.

no idea if it'll fit, but the older Volvos come with some downright nasty horns. I'm gonna try to fit one from a Volvo 240 wagon into my 7 some time. if this thread's still around, I'll let ya know how it goes.

For years I ran some generic air horns that I purchased from Princess Auto. If I recall, the brand name was "Chico". They were alright, but the horns themselves were large and the compressor took up some space.

Since the big turbo upgrade there was no room for the old horns so I installed a set of "Freeway Blaster" (found at Canadian Tire, but I'm sure are available at most auto parts stores) behind the intercooler. They seem to work well.
