I don't have an upgraded horn in my 370z, but use Hella Dual tone in my 240Z's. It makes them sound like Volvos.

I do have a "Honk if You're Horny" bumper sticker on the 370 though.

Currently looking at these. Just don't know if they're universal fitment because there seem to be a few of them that all look the same with slightly different model numbers.

Amazon.com: Hella SuperTone Horn Kit, 118 db: Automotive

Had those on my previous car. Now I know why they call themselves "Hella". Because they're "hella" loud :bowrofl:

:ugh2:

You may be right. but I swear between the people I was honking at not reacting to it at all and the fact that I can barely hear it either when I'm sitting in the cabin (music playing, exhaust going) I don't think it's good enough.

Another car with music on and windows up, particularly a sedan with noise isolating material, simply can't hear our horn and won't even know anybody is there.

Must be something new they're teaching in driver's school. Used to be those merging onto the highway were supposed to match the speed of highway traffic AND adjust their speed to merge safely, either speeding up or slowing down. If your town is anything like mine, now the majority of drivers just putt right onto the highway without even looking if anyone is in the space they are pulling into...AND then they act all indignant because I didn't come to a stop so they could enter the highway doing 40mph (70 mph limit). :shakes head:

Oh, and apparently getting to the end of the entrance lane is an automatic right of way to cause every other driver in the area to take evasive action! :icon14:

That happens around here as well. Especially the last minute merging maneuver that many drivers pull. And god forbid those bastards don't make it into the lane; they usually straight up block the lane they're stuck in because they refuse to budge until they get their way. So people behind them are scrambling to get from 60+ mph to 0 within the next 40ft or so.

But the 3 times this happened to me this weekend were during cruising speed. Once at 11pm when the highway was actually mostly open.

Lol, having a compressor in my car is a bit more dedication that I'm willing to commit to. :p

Maybe now is a good time to install a turbo. Then you could tap into the compressor to supply that locomotive type air horn. :tup:

PM me and I'll give you the number of one of my ex's. She was the kind of person that would stick her head out the window to make sure you heard her screaming at you! She'd make a great horn if zip tied to the bumper. Nice thing about her is that you wouldn't even have to press the horn...she'd take care of everything.

So why did she dump you?

Stock horn is s*** … I also want to upgrade it.

Anyone else who has done it?

That's why my exhaust is louder than my horn :driving:

Out of respect to southerners and Mexicans out in tx, My horn blows the "general lee" horn and "La cucaracha".:tup:
