Me so horny!

KNINE · Post by **KNINE** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 11:41 pm

I want to install a new horn on my Vibe. I'm tired of that geeky little Japanese sounding horn. I want something that sounds big and American and says, get the *@/# out of my way! Or, how dare you cut me off you *@/# jerk! Any recommendations?

You can spend a little money and get Hellas or Stebels or you can choose the cheap and easy route: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=27484See my post on page 2. The FIAMM Freeway Blaster, it's much louder the factory horn, it's cheap and it's really easy to install. I'm still laughing at your thread title!

But you can still find the German ones if you know where to look... I know where to look.Hellas will run you around $60ish.
