Anyone know where i can get a REALLY LOUD HORN?

My horn doesn't sound all that mean and I was wondering if i could upgrade it for kicks and laughs? I don't want to spend too much but I want the horn to go WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAMMMMMMM and really tell people to get the ^&#% out of my way. I was just wondering if it could be done without too much work/cost.
Thanks alot!

Get an air horn from Autozone.
Maybe one that sounds like a big truck.
Probably 50.00

Check J. C. Whitney. They have a couple pages of horns in their catalog.

You might try also adding a couple horns from other cars- you could probably almost get them for free from a junk yard, I remember cause my 74 Caddy actually has 3 and that's what makes it so loud.

You drive an F-Body man, your horn is supposed to be your right foot with the car in neutral.

Man! I've always wanted a train horn for the TA. If you ever get that hooked up, you MUST provide a video, 2nd person view, roaring down the highway blaring that thing.

Edit: There isn't a train horn simulator or whatever in which you don't have to go all out and get a compressor and work at a railroad to obtain one in the first place

2 reasons why i don't even use the horn:1. to lame sounding to be coming out of a 4th gen car, it's almost embarrassing. 2. I figure the time wasted on blowing the horn at another driver can be used to maneuver around safely and flip the som*itch off

I agree completely, it sound embarassing(honda horn is identical), and waste of time, but i thought it be funny to scare the **** out of people now and then.

Get one of those horns that you could mount on the side mirror that has a rubber bellow you squeeze....one of them circus horns. But you'd have to wear that red clown nose to go with it.
