Loudest Horn

New to the site, searched a bit on this one. Seems that a lot of people have the FIAM Highway Blaster Horn? Just curious, in all your opinions, which do you think is the loudest horn? Because the OEM one really needs to go.

Triple Air Horns.

Dude...it's so intimidating.

I have the FIAMM freeway blaster and the Airhorns are 50x louder.

Don't you need to do electrical system work though on the airhorns due to the fact that the compressor for them runs at a higher amperage than the OEM?

Very minor. You can buy airhorns at Pepboys. They come with everything that you need.

You can PM "Grey" and ask him. He's the airhorn master...

I have German Hella Horns. They are pretty loud. But not as loud as the Triple Air Horns.

I still haven't finished my project of installing my train horn on my car.

Some water got into my FIAMM freeway blaster when we had a badass storm the other day, and now it sounds like shiat! Prolly all you need for the air horns is wiring and a relay if one isn't included.

I have the air horns too, and they are loud but I find that they are too much of a high pitched sound. I think i might get the freeway blasters instead for my regular horn and then maybe hook up another button for the airhorns.

For loud factor, definitely air horns. But I dont like how they sound like a clown car. lease: I got a dual FIAMM set up (High and Low tone) which sounds good, and IMO, just about as loud as the air horns too.

I always thought the OEM horn sounded like a clown car.

I also have the dual FIAAM setup with hi and low. It works great, get's em out of the way. Really good for people who try to change lanes without looking or signalling.

Somebody has a Hella electric non air horn that is pretty loud.

Just replaced my horn with an hi and low FIAMM, sounds like a normal car instead of that or sound I had. But yeah, for loudness, get a triple air horn or do what ak said, talk to Grey because he could tell you what's up.


You could always try a train horn!!! Would be interesting if done and to see the front bumper be blasted off the car

do you realize how big of an air tank you need for real train horns? you'd have no trunk and it'd be a big enough blast to shake your car to pieces. i'm looking for anything that's not this little meep meep horn.
