I was confused myself on where it came from. Maybe that nissan sentra?

I was in a line of trafffic where someone honked with loud air horns (not me) after a Cardinals baseball game and everyone assumed it was my H2 and looked at me and my wife, one teen even shot me the bird. Speak softly and carry a big stick.

Yeah,
I am not sure of air horns or just horns that sound similar to a Big Rig air horn.

To me it doesnt matter, just looking for something to get rid of the meep meep sound that the H2 horn has.

As for people disrespecting you after you blow it......

Hey I dont care since the only reason I am honking it is if someone is disrespecting me (ie. not moving out the way).

Given, I think it would also be great to have a siren feature, since usually the only time I honk my horn is when I am running an emergency call and I need to get there ASAP and though even with lights flashing, people still wont move out of the way.

Didn't mean to piss you off bud. I didn't mean anything by saying you couldnt afford it. The horns I got for mine came off here. I bought them from TTLex for two hundred bucks instead of the seven hundred they want from dealer. I think I'm a little older than you and this isn't my first rodeo on buying parts. I always look around before I buy anything. But look on ebay and such though and prices are always higher than I would like to pay. So shop around before you buy.

I am not pissed off.
Trust me I am pretty easy going.

I just get on a soap box when I hear people say "hey its a (fill in the blank), you got to pay to play" type comments. I grew up building cars, making custom parts and adapting others. I just think the pay to play thing is a little over done. I mean parts are parts, you just have to figure out how to get em in there

So the cost shouldnt be outrageous just because its a more expensive car. Why does a Honda go in to a speed shop and have a intake and exhaust put on, and it costs $600 in parts and $200 in labor..... BUT in a BMW goes in to have an intake and exhaust put on, it cost $1500 in parts and $300-400 in labor.



Anyways, I agree. I am just trying to find a good set of horns that will mimic what a 18-wheeler horn will sound like and since I am not familiar with any of the horn sounds out there, I figured I would ask what others had and their experiences and costs.

As for the age, I have a feeling we are closer then you think. I am 40
