Does anyone else think the xB horn is a lil..... uh wimpy? A few times now i lose my car in the sea of jacked up pickups at work, and i need to use my panic button to locate my car.... everytime it goes off, sounds like a horn that would go into one of the Power Wheels jeep things.....

I was thinking of getting dual air horns, but those some times are just as bad.... I'm looking for a horn that has *****. I was thinking one out of an old cadi, but any one have any segs for a horn w/ attitude? I would love those 18 wheeler air horns, but that means i need to remove my sub to fit the air compresser

that would be badass! the horn is weak. you could probably get one from autozone. you should get one that plays the cha-cha

I replaced mine with Fiamm Highway Blasters. You can see them at:
High note:

Low note:
http://www.fiammamerica.com/Product.asp?ProductID=156

They are easy to install with the factory hardware and sound great. When I hit my horn people's heads turn fast. They are rated for a minimum of 130dB.

I forgot to mention I bought the high note at Harbor Freight for $9.99 and the low note at Advance auto for about $16.

still sound sissy, but you can't beat the price. I'm thinking some horns like big rons caddy

Ferraris and Lamborghinis use dual air horns. I don't consider them sissy. :?

I know of at least one Miata that has a diesel air horn. He has a small compressed air tank in his trunk (in one of the tunnels that run from the trunk to the cockpit) and fills it up from his compressor at home. One charge lasts quite a while, and that thing will most definitely get your attention.

You could mount these up as dual horns. Or one of these. Why not a train horn? :D

I agree with you man....the xb does have a little girl horn....wish i could change that to a nice deep horn....

The horn from just about any hunk of Detroit iron will do the job. There are pleny of junked cars to be found with perfectly good horns in them.

(Aw, but Daddy, I want something NEW and SHINY, either chromed or made from carbon fiber.)

$70 for a horn!!! I'd rather save the dough and have a girly sounding horn. Personally, I don't use my horn all that much.

BoomBox757

what horn, scions have horns? haha I don't either

sindekat

Do bubbles shoot out when you depress the horn??

BoomBox757

152dB @ 150Hz...... NICE!! :twisted:

Those things are so big they might stop the car if you blew them too long.

BoomBox757

haha that would be great. I bet you could get them under the hood

actually, there have been studies performed on the pitch and tone of car horns....the tone toyota uses and other imports use has been proven to catch people's attention more than the "detriot muscle." Why doesn't detroit change? Image.
