Replacing the stock horn
I'm thinking of replacing the stock horn with these PIAA sports horns, they're 400/500 Hz dual horn, or 500/600 Hz dual horn. Anyone have these? Sound good? I'm sure they're loud, but I haven't done any measurements yet on the stock GS horn.

I replaced my horns shortly after I bought my car. I don't know the freq. of it, but it's a nice dual airhorn setup.
It's definitely loud!

I have one in my old Ford pickup. I enjoy the hell out of it. I have to chuckle when I remember the look on faces of the two women who pulled out in front of me. Gave 'em a short blast and I could see them raise up in their seats. Probably had to shampoo their upholstery.

Hey engin_ear,
Did you replace your horn with the PIAA sport horn? I'm curious to know since I'm looking to upgrade my horn and can't figure out whether to get the 400/500Hz or the 500/600Hz.

My friend has one on his truck that whistles for hot girls or moo's for ugly ones - hilarious!!! And yes, this is Oklahoma - that is what we do here
Back on topic - do you really ever use your horn that much that you would need to upgrade it>??

No, but it woud nice to have a powerful horn. I rarely drive at WOT, but I still want a fast car.
