I read in other topic that you can change the stupid Vibe horn. So, there is a horn at Canadian Tire : Freeway Blaster Horns, 26.99 $CA. Do you think this horn is better that the one that come with the car ? I'm not a mecanic, so, I need something really easy to install.If it's not a geat horn, any one know a place in the Montreal (Quebec) region where I can buy great horns ?
I went to Canada Tire too! I think the freeway blaster is a 125 db horn. You know if you are not satisfied with the your horn you can bring it back to them!I went for the $20 (approx) Fiamm (I think that is what is was) low note 110 decibel horn and added it to the existing one. Now I have a normal sounding dual horn system. Everyone else says it is loud, but I think it sounds perfect to me With a dual horn rather than a replacement you have a spare for redundancy in case one horn fails you.It is an easy install electically, just one wire and a ground, make sure your new horn has a good ground either where you mount it or run a ground wire.It takes a bit of fiddling to mount the new horn behind the grill though, that is what took most of my 1.25 hours. Have fun!

You should have removed the grille. The left and right side come off separately and I think they are only held in place by a few screws and maybe a trim clip or two. I was already looking because I hate the sound of the puny little horn. When I get angry and lay on it in traffic, that whimpy litte beep just doesn't cut it. I would really like something more like a Mack dual air horn that really blasts and lets everyone know I'm pi--ed off so get the hell out of my way!

quote:can the "freeway blaster" sub as a replacement or add-on? All you need is 1 wire.for add on and grab the ground of the car chasis, yes???Sure either or. The two horns run in parallel. The worst that can happen is you blow a fuse if both horns draw too much current. Just run one horn in that case.
