I want a manlier horn.
okay I was wondering if anyone thinks that the stock horn on their dodge sucks? I don't want an air horn but I want something that says " hey get the hell out of the way" or "oh crap that's a truck behind me" anyone got any suggestions?

Clint

Consider the air horn, you will have so much fun with it. Believe me, people will think, help me Jesus, I'm gonna be run over by something BIG!!! Grover triple air horns and a viar compressor. Hornblasters may suit you, just not ear shattering.

I have a friend that is selling his set. They are huge, i want to think it is a five trumpet. Probably way overkill.

Just the trumpets or the tank, solenoid and compressor as well?

I jacked the horns off of a large cadillac i'd rented for my F-150, a substantial improvement. You could probably get them cheap in a junk yard.

My horn has scared a couple of people. It's nothing like a real train horn but it's much better than stock. Train horns are cool but not everybody thinks it's worth $500 for a horn....

That's what I did. Grabbed a set of Caddy horns at the wrecker. Cadillacs have great horns, their set of horns is actually made up of 4 horns, as are some Buicks. It's one of my favorite mods.

Do you have suggestion for years and models? I Always like an inexpensive upgrade.

I switched mine out to an OOGA horn I had in a previous vehicle.

has gotten several interesting responses thus far, but fails to convey a level of anger when it needs to
