What type of horn to get?

Was at autozone the other day, saw a few types of horns for like $40-$100, thought to myself, I get cut off at least once a day going through the rotary by my work and my horn is down right gay.

So I just typed in Horn on ebay and found the same stuff that autozone has for half the price...go figure.

so check it out, tell me what you would get, dont want to spend over $40-$50 and it seems like there are plenty of options:

horn | eBay


Kind of want to get a old style "aaaooooogahh" horn for kicks

Only reason subaru and mitsubishi people get hella supertones is becausr the stock horn is pathetically quiet. Go to a junk yard and pull the dual tone horn from an Impala. Plugs right in. Theres a how to in the how to section

I'll probably get a pair of supertone, along with a turbocharged grill. I think it looks sick when you can see them in the front

I potentially have a direct drive air horn for sale... Only problem i have with it is sometimes it doesnt work right below 30 degrees. You have a base model so it would fit in the exact location i have it now. (unless you have a true cold air intake) PM me if interested.

Eww really guys, train horns? lol. I'm sure it's funny to scare people...but I guess I'm not that type of guy lol. I would be ashamed of using something like that :P

So I think I'll try to replicate that black car...it would look amazing with retrofits

Was definitely just checking out an ooga horn at oreillys yesterday, I have a couple friends that work there and they rigged it to go off in the package and it is way louder than our horns but I wasn't a huge fan of the high pitch... But ill be checking back on this thread to see what horns everyone picks out cause I'm also in the market for a new one!
