The guy at Autobarn said just pick a car that has a nice sounding horn and go to the wreckers and buy one. The problem with the new ones in the shops is you don't know what they sound like. My next little project as this D40's horn sounds very feminine.
Anybody replaced the sissy factory D40 horn?

Definately going to supercheap for a $14 quick fix... might look into a better one a bit later...

Maybe a Wolf Whistle Horn is more to your liking.

Saw on 4WD TV last week a Comp Hilux with a C'Mon Aussie Horn.

Pulled the grill out this arvo and hooked a horn the same as this up.Huge improvement. Need to make a small bracket to secure it.

Can anyone give me a hand with installing a new air horn? The packaging says it comes with instructions but it didn't say that the instructions was just a pissly little diagram. Pics would be brilliant.

I HATE the horn on my Nav and avoid using it because it is crap.
The sock horn on a BA-BF falcon, I had one of each both XR6 Turbo's, were great, nice and deep note, they had two units, really good solid horn, not high pitched, or mouse quiet.
I will be hunting fleabay or wreckers for one, or maybe two sets of BA falcon horns.
The up side is anything from Ford I can bolt one, will only improve a very average car.

Do the air horn plug into original wiring from the stock horn or is it a complicated process?
Im talking smaller airhorns not the huge compressor ones

I'm got a set of dual snail horns from (I think) a 2003 Astra. Bought them for $90 for a Commodore a few years back as they sound like a truck horn, loud with a nice tone. Best "bloke-iest" horns around IMHO. Looks easy to fit, can't tell whether the brackets I have are OEM or not though.
