Assuming that that's the same one under my hood, I don't like it. The PO installed the horn (Two little air horns with a Hella stamp on the resevoir). It is too high pitched for me, loud, but high pitched. It seems to get lost at freeway speed too.
There was one my ex had me install on her Passport. It was from Harbor Freight and shaped like a snail shell. All I did was tap into the original horn and mount it. That thing was loud and deep. I can't seem to find it anymore...

And anything over 120dB is capable of almost instantly causing hearing damage.

i think the keyword here is CHEAP. go to a junk yard and get the dual tones off any german car: audi, vw, bmw. simple to hook up and a good loud tone, not that beep-beep that asian cars usually have. if you dont have a relay set up then grab that too while you're there.

Just get some from harbor freight or kragen or wherever for like $20. Then just wire a switch into the car somewhere since you have no horn button.
I have 2 sets of the Wolo air horns, which equals 2 compressors and 4 horns. LOUD as hell. Not quite train loud but it suits me fine for the price.

I pulled a Hella OEM low-tone (there are 2 horns in the Mercedes: high/low) horn out of a Mercedes E-Class. Plug and play, just had to run a ground wire, its just a tiny bit bigger than the stock horn and it bolted in the factory location. Cost: free.
