I dont even know what to make of this thread.So ill just say. Dont use the horn.Stick ur head out the window and shout!.

Try it during a traffic jam, its traffic moving much faster than using the horn.

Things i shout:Hey! - Anytime you just need attentionDude, im driving here - when somone cuts you off, or joins without looking left and rightYou are a ricer - when a car pulls up next to me and 3 honks to get a race startedExcuse me i believe the light has turned green - Self explanatorymeeee yaou - when a hot chick is on the side of the roadHey!, Hey! i know you....yeah i know you - when i see someone in a car i know

Yeah i didnt even know the horn in my car didn't work, till i went to get inspected a year after i got it. Thats how not-often i use it. I just yell too, but they don't usually hear me. By the time i think of using my horn, it's too late and they wouldn't know who i honked at. The finger usually gets the point across as well.

It's one of the first thing I dislike about my car. The upgrade is on my list.

Actually I kinda like my horn. It sounds like all the expensive sports cars out there. Corvette, Ferrari, Porsche ect ect Makes me feel like I am in a nicer car than I really am. To each thier own.

Mine didn't come with a horn. I went to Autozone and bought a cheap 15 buck one. Now it sounds like a f***ing Jeep, but a manly Jeep. Sooner or later I'm gonna get a train horn.

i also dislike my horn ive been thinking about replacing it myself ive actually never used because i just wont. i think it would make ppl laugh rather than scare them or get them to notice you. ive always imagined like a SUV cutting me off then i honk and they slow down and get into the other lane just so they can roll there windows down and point and laugh then speed up again down the road.

Just buy you an aftermarket horn like a WOLO 419 Bad Boy Dual Tone air horn or a pair of Hella SuperTones. They are both rated at 118 db...think that's at 6 feet.

Here are some links for each of them:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F5 ... Su...RZXPI
