Who's happy with their aftermarket horns?
I'm having a hard time finding a set that I like. I've tried a few types of airhorns and a couple others. I think I'd like to avoid the air horn if possible since I've gone through a couple compressors and they're hard to find replacements. Thanks, oh and sound clips would be appreciated with any suggestions too!

I just bought a pair of stock horns for a '04 accord(they are very loud).I haven't wired them up yet(they are single wire)and i need to hook up a relay.Thet were about 40 bucks for the pair.

Sound clip is on my site.
It is very old, from around 4 or 5 years ago.

Get' em at Napa.

Looks like I need to update the article with a sound clip too.

I agree, freeway blasters or similar are great. Also, when you hook them up, utilize one of the two stock horn in addition to the new air horns. By doing this you will always have a back up and it allows you to let out a quiet "meeep" if you are just trying to get someone's attention vs. blasting them off the road (do this by barely tapping the horn button).

I just installed the freeway(highway)blasters. Wow...what a differance. I bought mine at Checker Auto Parts but I also have seen them at Auto Zone. I bought the hi & lo tones 138 decibal ones. They were about $15 a piece. Install was EZ. I installed in the OEM location. I just pulled the wire from the OEM horns and pushed the wire on to the new ones. Done in less than 5 mins.

Yeah, I'm happy with mine now that it is cold and dry again. When it's warm the echo from the forest a quarter mile away didn't come back as pronounced 
Two compressors, mounted where they are always dry and warmed up by the engine. Never had problems. To get the tone right bought 2 kits, used the compressor and the long horn from each.

I put Fiam Highway Blasters on my '00. BIG difference. Although, I would prefer a lower note like a '60's Caddy. But still an attention getter (a.k.a., crap their pants) compared to the stock horn.

Here is the writeup from my Horn Install. Very simple, great sound. I copied Corey but got mine at Harbor Freight for $10 each.
