My horn sounds like a wounded goose.
What should I replace it with? I see that Advanced has horns, but I have no idea what they sound like, and I don't want to get stuck with something that sounds horrible or whimpy. I need a loud and manly kind of horn, lol.

An old post of mine from 2002. Horn still works great

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.

Lol, I like your thread title 
. I am going to be removing my front bumper soon to send out my oil coolers to be refurbished and install my 99 spec ducts, and one of the things I want to do while I'm in there is replace and relocate my horns as well.

I also have a Nissan Quest van for haulin' stuff, and I had been looking at options for a new FD horn. One day I realized the horn on the van sounded really good - deep and loud, but not obnoxiously loud, just a good sounding horn. Hit up the junkyard and got one for like $3. Replaced both FD horns, and it sounds great now. They just plugged in like OEM, too.
You do have to pull the nose to really get to the stock horns, but pulling the nose isn't as hard as it would seem. I had a bunch of projects to do in the nose of the car, so I made a day of it one weekend.

Mine is a '95 Nissan Quest - they made that model from '93-98, and the Mercury Villager is the exact same van. They're usually not hard to find in the junkyard, as they made a zillion of those things.
I actually grabbed a few horns to try out - gotta love the pick and pull junkyard! It's easy to hook them up and give it a whirl. But, I was VERY satisfied with the one from the Quest. It's also an OEM part, so it will have a good, long life, and no fancy wiring was needed.
