High or Low tone Horn

Well as many of you should know, the OEM honda horn is dinky, so I'll be purchasing a new horn. It's gonan be either the FIAMM Freeway Blaster 132 db High tone or Low tone. I'm just wondering which one would go best? I'm leaning towards Low tone, but want to hear what others think

I have both, but they are yet to be installed. I'm going to put them in when I replace my grille, since the bumper will already be off...

The drivers in TX have been especially stupid lately, so I am in desperate need of them...the b**** soccer moms in their Escalades don't give me as much as a second look after they cut me off when I honk the stock horn...

I have the low tone one. It is great. This is my third one though. The first was not aimed at the ground and filled with water during a rain storm (shorted out), so don't aim it up. It may sound a little better but you will regret it later. The second one broke when I hit that silly a$$ed deer! Nice horn easy install.

^^Aiming it up is not a good idea either... ran can collect in the actual horn and fvck it up.

I aimed mine down but it sits halfway down my bumper so i don't have to worry about flooding it. Plus I don't even drive through any puddles.
