I installed my new horn today. It's a Magnum Blaster model #3-0114. It's made in Italy by Carrand Horns. It's 138 decibels. Claims to be twice as loud as a stock horn. I bought it at Kragen. Same as Shucks/Checker/Southern Auto. It was $15.

Installation. I wasn't sure which side to put the horn on, so I put the car on ramps, and crawled under. I could see the horn on the drivers side, but I would have to remove the belly pan to get it out. On the passenger side, I could not see the horn. It looked like it would be easier to get to on that side, but I couldn't see it. I pulled the panel down to inspect the area more closely. I didn't see the horn, because it wasn't there!! It didn't look like it ever had one. No wires.

I didn't want to rewire anything, so I decided to replace the drivers side horn, and use the existing wiring. The old horn is a tiny little thing. Mazda must have saved a lot of weight here!! It had a spade connector, so everything wired up easily. The only problem is the small space. It was difficult to get my big hands in the space to bolt it up. Eventually I got it.

I am very pleased with the sound and volume of the horn, and would give it a good recommendation. It's difficult to describe to sound, so I won't even try. I will say that it isn't too high of a pitch. It's from an Italian company, so I'm just glad it doesn't sound like a Yugo.
