No but it will growl at Chevy and Dodges. lol

I think the old Lincoln ons from the 70's and 80's would be good, and I know someone who's site I have been on recently has Cadillac horns in his 4Runner

Just went to the Fiamm website and listened to the sample of the horns... Ya know, none of the lows sound at all low to me...

Hey! I got some at Pep Boys. They look a lot like the ones Dr. Z have. They aren't really as truck like as I would have liked, but I've stilled scared quit a few dumb drivers with them and sure does beat that Corolla sounding horn Mine is mounted where the stock horn is located with the 2 horns pointing down. My air compressor is located between the radiator and washer fluid tank. There is a little bracket fabed up to hold the air compressor. My mechanic wired them to the existing horn switch. I'll see if I can figure out how to do pics later today.

I scared an old lady in a Caddy a while ago. She was sitting on some train tracks for about 5 minutes blocking 2 lanes of traffic and trying to back into a parking space. I gave her a little toot toot to try to get her to do something. I didn't realize it till later, but she probably thought it was a train coming. She took out of there like there were a couple of JATO rocket on the back of her car. I'll never forget that. LOL.

Anyways, I'll try to get those photos on here later.
Have fun.

Jason B is the man! I followed his advice on the airhorn install he did. If I took pics of my install you probably couldn't tell the difference between mine and his. It worked perfect! As a matter of fact the $26 set of Fiamm airhorns I bought at Advance Auto Parts are the same ones in Jason said they put in Maserati's. Definite improvement over the cheesy stock horn.

I fabbed up my brackets for all my stuff and plan on wiring in my Fiamm's this weekend. Luckily on the 2nd Gen's there's a pretty big space on the drivers side fender well under the hood where they will fit perfectly. My kit came with a relay and wiring diagram. I still have to tap into the existing wire though and will more than likely have to pull the grill to do that.

Have you got the compressor mounted up right? when my brother-in 0law got his musical horns he did not mount the compressor the right way and it gave up after a few weeks.

we all have a right to a opinion, I have seen you dislike this setup before in other posts, however, I think mine are great, the "beep" is a much lower tone and two different fq s so it makes a harmoney of two tones and is way louder, we have it on a Honda car as well and when you hit the horn you get respect, the horns are 40 to 50% larger than stock and there are 2 not one like stock, this is on my truck a 92, I have had the Hellas for 8 years and still dig on the reaction I get. IMHO
