Had to lean on the horn the otherday and was HORRIFIED at the lame sounding noise that eminated from in front of me! WTF was THAT? Maybe our horn is broken? Our 92's horn was weak but sounded OK.

Anyhow has anyone out there upgraded their horn? If so what did you go with?

AZHitman did, but my upgrade to a "loud" from GI Joes sounds like it was made by the Vienna Boys Choir.

I got some replacements from Auto Zone that work well and were cheap. Griot's Garage has several to choose from also.

I bought a 140 dB self-contained unit off ebay for $30. Mounted it inside the left front fender liner (behind the foglamp) under the airbox.

Loud as all hell, and easy to hook up - Ran a lead from the old weenie horn near the hood latch to the new horn and discarded the OEM one.

I think it's called the Big Loud Mother Scratcher.

Thanks. Wouldn't you know, no picture? Maybe it will be up tomorrow.

Picture came back up! Man, you could evacuate Cleveland with that. Thanks.

Now I have to find where to mount it as my ATF cooler is where you mounted yours.

Your ATF cooler is in front of the front wheel?
