Why do you need a louder horn? The OEM makes enough noise to get someone's attention.

good point. plus in some places the use of your horn excessively could result in your car getting a few bullet holes. prime example is the idiots in that video

I'm with you. I hated the stock horns. They were no ways near loud enough for me. I got a set of these. They have a lot different sound than the stock horns also.

I think they sound a little more "European-ey". The way that I installed them was a pain. I stuck my hand in front of the radiator and connected them that way. I took off a lot of skin. If you take off the front bumper (which was in the instructions ) it's really quite simple. You just unbolt and disconnect the old and bolt and reconnect the new ones. It would have taken me less time to take off the bumper and do it properly than the way that I did it.
I'll see if I can post a sound sample. No promises though.
