im on the search for a nice sounding horn for my car, as my stock factory rover one couldnt wake a guard dog up. im thinking the minispares dual trumpet air horn, has anyone got one in their car ? are they any good ? |

I run a pair of Fiamm metal trumpet air horns, refugees from my 1968 Fiat 124 Sport. They are bloody LOUD when I lean on em. These are mounted in the LH wheel arch, pointing down and forwards to stay dry inside. They keep the Toyota washer bottle and pump company. ![]() |

I don't mind them either, nothing tougher than a diesel train horn! |

I've also got the Stebel Nautilus. Fantastic for letting idiots know its not cool to cut you off. A 5 second blast usually conveys the message. Compact little unit too. |

It was funny as a friend told me to get an old Fiat horn as they are really loud. I had already got one from the wreckers for 5 bucks though. When I went home I had a look and it was a Fiamm. It is loud as well. Those Stebel ones look great. I looked at them ages ago but couldn't justify the spend.. D |

+1 for the stebel. Although, I think I might need to change mine around a little - at the moment it's facing the engine, because mounting it the other way it would hit the front. How have other's mounted it? |
