horn isn't intimidating at all
I guess this really isn't a technical problem. It's just that when I beep the horn sounds way too cheery and friendly. Do you guys find this too?

Rep Power: 0 Yup, not mean like an American car. Dodge Neons, Ford Mustangs and Mercury Cougars have pretty mean sounding horns. This probably isn't a crucial issue but I agree with you and it's been this way for a long time.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Is it expensive to get the horn replaced? Not that I think it's worth it. I'm asking out of curiousity. It would be great to have a horn that actually sounds like a horn and not like the roadrunner (*meep,meep*).

Rep Power: 0 hmmm, well, I've owned intimidating vehicles before.... a 1991 Crown Vic Police Package in DARK BLUE with flowmasters on it, no speed limiter, and a calibrated 140 MPH speedo to back it up - that intimidated almost EVERYONE in sight....(It had roughly 4 horns)
a jeep grand cherokee v-8 with a 3" exhaust that ran a 15.3@89 that was intimidating too...........(It sounded like a freight train when you hit those little buttons)
it's been my experience that the civics horn pretty well matches it's 2500 pound super fly-weight image........ (Beep Beep)

Rep Power: 0 I guess the wimpy sounding horn is a Honda tradition, they're never going to change it, but no one says that you can't change it....was thinking about getting that "Dukes of Hazard" sounding horn on the General Lee. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 The civic horn is weak.. the best replacement is a 2-3 trumpet air horn. The horns that play sounds are pretty weak too.. they get attention but they dont scare the hell out of anyone. I wanna mount a real truck horn in a car one day but I heard you need like a huge engine and air tank and everything.

Rep Power: 0 Haha.... I feel your pain guys. I hit the horn one time the day I brought it home from the lot....... I haven't hit it since then. Our horn sounds like the offspring of a Smurf and a Chipmunk.

Dude, just leave Smurfs out of this...maybe a chipmunk and a cat just before it gets hit by a Mack truck, but DEFINATELY not w/ a Smurf.
Ok, maybe I watch cartoons too much, but oh well.

Rep Power: 0 I'm going to try and install the horn from my 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I rolled.... For some dumb reason I kept the horn.... I guess the reason finally showed itself... I'll let you know how it turns out.

Rep Power: 0 I picked up a freeway blaster type horn at Checker for eight bucks. It took me about 30 minutes to put it on and it is a big improvement, actually sounds like a car now instead of a scooter or something.
