(LOL, I knew that would get your attention ) Has anyone ever used Cadillac horns? I was at the JY the other day, and picked up "four" factory horns from a '95 Deville for $5. I've included a link to a small mp3 file I made of what they sound like. They definately have a unique sound of their own. NOT what you would expect to come from that Escort behind you...LOL.

WEll they are different. But I would go for the "big rig" freeway air horns under the hood/in the front bumper better!!!

Go for it, it sounds decent. It is fun to change things like that up sometimes. I have a horn from a Taurus on my car, much better than the wimpy stock horn

Truck air horns would be nice if space weren't an issue. Now all I need is some decent weather, and a day off from work! LOL
