Default Horn

I don't like my litle civic horn. it sounds like a motorcycle horn. what other horn are compatible with mine. ie: wattage, volts, attaching isn't a problem, i can adapt. I want something like from an old 68 lincoln or something. Something that sounds liek "HOLY ****!! I BETTER GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!" type horn. Thanks!

Get an airhorn from an 18 wheeler. They almost make you go deaf if you are standing in front of them when they go off.

i would, but then you need a compressor, or a air tank. mayber a small Co2 tank would work....

yeah, but then you gotta keep refilling it. a tank and compressor would be better. a friend of mine has airbags on the front of his truck, so he had the tank and stuff anyway, so he put one on his S10. SOOO LOUD!!!

You don't really need a tank. I have air horns and i just ran some tubes straight from the compressor to the horns.

You can buy them at like Advance Auto Parts or Pep Boys for about 30 bucks. Theyre pretty freakin loud but sometimes theyre pretty high pitched. This site shows the basic setup and install.... http://www3.telus.net/desktopsolutio.../air_horns.htm
