need a new horn

[2talltim]

The silver bitch sounds like a dying duck so I want to replace the horn. And I'm not putting another oem squak box on it. When I had my TL I put a VW horn on it, it sounded okay but I want to hear options and opinions...go

I went with the Screaming Banshee horn.....there was a group buy quite a while ago and it was cost effective.  Very nice.

No matter which aftermarket horn you go with keep in mind that the stock horn switch may not be able to handle the extra current draw. You'd be well advised to install a relay that's controlled by the horn switch and connected directly to the battery so that the stock switch doesn't go up in smoke.

How about these horns?

[wingrider]

Nice horns but will she blow them?

[VirginiaJim]

Good question.

I got these from Murph: http://www.murphskits.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=45&products_id=356&osCsid=38f94b825f87a8871b55d7abe52b455e

I love them. They are much louder. Much.

PIAA sports horn Tim, trust me they are loud. And you need no relay, that is what I am going to buy soon. I heard one over the weekend, it was quite impressive.

If you want a "real" horn, then install an air horn (and relay).  Search the forum for "Nautilus" and you will find many threads.  It is a lot more work and hard to find a good mounting place, but it blows away any electric horn.  Love mine.

Interesting.  That looks almost identical to the Stebel Nautilus we are all using...

They are the same. I've had the Wolo version on my Duc for years with no issues, so quality seems to be the same... just the benefit of saving a few bucks and possibly finding it on the shelf at Harbor Freight.

yes, they are completely identical, and I am sure that both are made by the exact same manufacturer.
I'm talking about the Nautilus compact...


I think the banshee is also made by the same company....





I'm pretty much sure all 3 can be modified to allow a split system for better fitment like this

I can assure you Max that the PIAA sports horn is a "real horn", some of us don't want to have to deal with a relay and a large horn that is a pain in the ass to mount.
