I Swapped my stock Fiamm horn with another one from Fiamm a-la-CT. The end result? A horn that doesn't sound much different, just a higher pitch/tone. So, 20 bux and some busted knuckles later, I'm wondering what to do next. I want a horn on my car to sound like a Saab or Volvo, or some other european cars. You know what I mean....the higher pitched horn sound, blended together. Maybe I need to get the air horn kit that can be tuned, and operated by a small compressor?

Beat me to it!
Back in the 80's they made ones with 12-20 different musical horns on a control panel. Dixie was one of them. You can find those on eBay, or they have an air horn version on there that usually sells for about $70US, compressor and all.

my friend's girlfriend lives in Mexico and when he goes down there he can get pretty much any horn you want. Air horns or electrical I think he has 3 different ones in his car and they're all nice, kinda corny but funny. I gotta replace my horn I think water or snow got into it cause it sounds like it's under water when I honk.

Crappy Tire actually sells one musical horn that you can play all kinds of crap from, right from a control panel while driving :lol:
And that PIAA horn i'm pretty sure is the same one I was looking at Performance Improvements a few months back when I too was ready to change the horn.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: my horn is dead too! I took it out, looked at it, it was full of water. The horn location is stupid, I'm relocating a new one this week-end. I hope that one last.

Okay, now if you could get a horn that played anything, what would you have it play?
I'd go for the Road Runners "Meep, meep" since the Focus is closer in spirit to it than the old Mopar product ever was if you ask me :D

:blink: Uh, where is the hornpad on a Trans-Am steering wheel again? I'm trying to figure out how you managed to accidentally set it off unless you were leaning forward and to the left while trying to talk into the speaker :lol:
118db? E-yowtch that'd be loud just walking by when that thing went off NVM getting it broadcast over a microphone and into your ears :ph34r:
