Default Anyone changed their horn???

...i know horns arent meant to sound manly but our horn sounds like a child's bike!! Not good for a an 06 Black Hawkeye WRX that, apart from the horn, sounds well!!

Anyone been through swapping their horn for a more acceptable note?

Cheers, as always, for any advice

Regards

Tried a search? There have been threads over the last three months, anything from Hellas to train-horns.

Got cheap airhorns on mine, horns and compressor zip-tied to the slam panel uprights, either side of the rad.
They are loud enough, and less than £15.
