I restore Maserati cars and these are the horns I use . They are very small and very loud. I'm on year 11 with my first one.

Thanks a lot! Now I just need to figure out how to install it.

I once had a boyfriend that replaced his Harley-Davidson horn with a Mac truck air horn. He put the air-compressor in the saddlebags and the horns themselves were beautifully chromed and looked like another pipe on the side. Scared the living daylights out of me the first time he used them on the road with me on the back!

I've seen smaller versions of air horns on Pep Boys and other auto parts stores. They look reasonably easy to install.

You can use an air horn! Here's the one I use on my 2 wheelers:

You can even hear the results!

I just got the horn in via UPS and I'm about to put it on. I'll send in a full report!

This is perfect - thank you. I'm a little nervous about removing the panel, but getting the new horn will be worth the effort.

Trust me, if a girl can remove the panel without doing any damage, you'll do just fine. Make sure to give yourself 1 1/2 hours for it. I did mine last weekend -- love the new dual air horn I put in. I haven't had a chance to use it, but I tested it in the driveway. :)

PS. Make sure you have a good socket set! And there's a tricky bolt underneath the side panel and the black trim by the driver's door, you'll probably need an extra set of hands for this one. Just be patient.

PPS. Blue is positive and brown is negative.
