Should I get a loud car horn

[revvo]

Did any of you upgrade your car horn to something more loud and manly? I'm thinking of getting a train horn :ninja:

And I rarely use mine, except if someone fell asleep at a green light. It's time to wake em up!

[shockz]

lamo, I'd love one of those.

I'd totally get tickets though, considering I use my horn 5ish times a day. :pinch:

I would love to get a loud ass horn. I get ****ed off at stupid people and use my horn all the time.

[revvo]

Oh wow, I forgot about that video of hornblasters.com lol... Now I know why I want some loud and serious noise.

Get the old Pranksta Gangsta horn from the 1930's.....the Awoooooga Horn. LMFAO!! had an Uncle who would put one in all his cars just to frighten people on the road when overtaking.. ROFL :laugh:

I always found the finger to work pretty well. On a bike (motorcycle) there's nothing blocking their view of it. :laugh:

Substituting your car horn to sound bigger and more bad isn't a sign of manliness, it's a sign your lacking in your manliness.

The more you flaunt, the more you lack.

As far as train horns on cars, they're illegal in most countries and in like, 43 states.

I'd love to upgrade my puny horn on my Mazda3. People will probably pay more attention, but it'll suck when I'm trying to tell someone I'm infront of their house and I don't have their number.

[revvo]

illegal? Yeah probably. Technically most aftermarket mufflers are illegal and a bunch of other silly mods. The question is, are you smart or would you abuse it?

except on your bike, the reason you are most likley honking, is because they dont see you. flipping them off wont do crap. you NEED to honk on your bike much more then a car

aftermarket mufflers are illegal in canada Revvo? that sucks :( here you can put them as long as they are under 100dB at 1 foot from the bike. most mufflers are in that limit with no problem

One of my uncles used to have awoogaa horn or whatever it's called.

My grandpa has an air horn with a slide control, so he can control the air pressure variably on the fly. He can make it sound just like a train. Used to scare the hell out of people all the time.

Too bad the compressor died years ago and he can't find one that works like the old one.

I installed a dual air horn on a friend's 84 Ford Escort long ago. We had a lot of fun with that one. No one expects such a massive blast to come from a tiny beater like that.

In reply to the OP, yes. Most definitely you should get a very loud horn. It's just plain fun.

Just don't replace your factory horn with it. Get a dedicated switch.

[MR_Candyman]

I say no, but of course I don't think I've ever used my horn

[revvo]

Yeah, I rarely use mine. If I want someone's attention I'll just rev the engine :whistle: Looks fun though to have a loud ass horn.

I'm saying most but yeah, we have a decibel limit too, I just forgot the amount. Cops don't care though, you could have a legal Akrapovic pipe on your motorcycle and still get ticketed for being "loud".

As long as your car doesn't look like rice, you're safe which is good because rice style suck.

No, it's only really Quebec that has a problem with cops and exhausts, the rest of the country doesn't really care. I once got pulled over when I was driving my truck with an original and tuned 440 six pack that had dual 3 inch pipes and 2 mufflers per pipe (it was still loud as hell). The cop just shone his flashlight under the truck and saw they were new mufflers and let me go.

You guys got it all wrong, you want this:

:rofl:

We gave a legal limit of what the tip can be. Can't remember what right now though.

I wouldn't want to change the horn on my Civic, but if I did, I'd probably use that Dukes of Hazzard one, LOL! :D

there's a proper chrome one you mount on the roof somewhere too, but I can't see it during a quick search

[dead.cell]

I take it there's no such thing as a horn that sounds somewhat like gunshots? That could certainly come in handy...

somebody in my road has one of those, no idea who or which car.....i've heard it loads of times, but was always doing something so couldn't run and see :(

personally i want police lights :) that would help scare those stupid motorists, instead of them swearing at you when THEY DO WRONG!

[nokiaxion]

Aftermath horns are illegal.

I was shocked when I first used the horn on my bora - especially compared to my golf (which is essentially the same car). They made me jump.

However, I tend to never use my horn. I may flash my lights occasionally, but I find the horn a bit too aggressive. I do toot it to say hi sometimes tho!
