Any better horn upgrades?

I think my horns are fizzling out. Wouldn't mind upgrading to something different and/or better. Anyone doing something different?

Its probably not the horn, itself thats going out. The thing u press on the steering wheel(bladder) goes out frequently on these cars. The horns rarely go bad.

Just check the Wolo out - that might be overkill

. The Stebel sounds different.

another thing on my list! I like my cars to have unique properties. especially a vette, something I don't like about having it sound just like every other car on the road. its a special car, should have a special horn. most exotic cars have puny sounding horns, I want something that commands attention and doesn't sound too stock. any suggestions?

How about a horn that plays "La Cucaracha"? That would be different for sure!

My wife bought the hornblasters for my truck. I keep having people pulling in front of me when I pulll my camper. They are sick loud. Some punk kid passed me and then immediately turned right making me slam on brakes. I gave a little blast as he went over the railroad trax and his look was priceless!!! But he got the message.
