hey decided cant stand the sissy horn of my magna so i went to pick and payless and ripped one off a BMW, sounds nice twin tone just justom made a bracket and wired up in parrallel as there are 2 horns now. little hard to get to without pulling off the bumper but still possible.
if second hand parts isnt your thing hella makes a twin horn replacement, not sure how much
dad did this with his nissan Patrol.

EDIT*** the other day i added it, they look like 2 minni turbos, very big for a horn, very loud and sound like a BMW twin tone horn, and they just fit in there original spot behind the front bar. very happy

yeah magna horns and shocking..... falcon horns arent a bad replacment either

fk horns im getting me a siren mwhahahahaha

Yeah I just went the airhorn option.

I bet MMAL lost sales from it too you know.

My Te one was embarrasing the current one is quite effective.

Nothing is as bad as the Yaris horn:sick:

im officially embarassed of my TH's horn.. will be lookin into a bmw horn

or a truck horn for laughs :shifty:

I have triple airhorns in mine.... :D

i can honestly say I have used my horn on the road only a handful of times ever in the 4 years I have owned it, so its not something that concerns me really.

But yes, it is a shocking horn! :redface:

i'm thinking more like a 156db train horn :bowrofl:you think people would move fast then ?

I'm thinking of putting the 380 horn in my car that sound okay.

Yeah I just went the airhorn option.

I bet MMAL lost sales from it too you know.

They fixed it with the 380 - :badgrin: sounds good with bite:evil:

Horn? mine does sirens, animals and music.
Its kinda fun at the lights next to someone and the chicken goes off :bowrofl:

But a BMW horn is a nice replacement for the stocky, they sound expensive, if thats even possible..

Ima getting dual air horns when i can be ****d to fit em. Aoooooogaaaa

i wonder if anyone put the dukes of hazard horn in the're magna:bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Yeh the magna horns sound quite gay, but i wouldnt go as far as changing it, its not like ppl hear the horn and think Hang on that sounded good lol

there just horns

Yeah its got a PA system too with the mic, there awesome when ppl walking accross the road and you yell at them :bowrofl:

lol we used to puish the cow moo when goin past fat chicks. use to have a real ansty face after that

My mate has a Bimmer and the horns on that are very loud and authorative. I 've been meaning to go a wreckers to get some Falcon horns but after hearing his I want to try and find some from a BMW instead.

Don't be half harted about these things. I used to have a landrover with a truck horn bolted to the roof running off a compressed air tank at 120 psi.......you know the ones, a chrome trumpet about 60cm long. Great in traffic cos it got their attention....caused lots of strained necks and soiled underwear......I miss that horn.

i got a quote for a horn off a Chrysler 300C whick has a very deep american style sound to it, $50 brand new. Might get two of them...

lmao :bowrofl:

I put BMW horns in the misses old Astina. I had to add a relay because the origional power wasnt enough to get full volume out of them.

The old man has a VZ acclaim and the horn in that is GREAT. Even tops the BMW and FOrd horns i recon. Must be the same horn as in the Statesmans etc. Cant believe they put a nice horn in everything Acclaim and above butr still have that pathetic horn in the executives. WHY??? Why bother having different horns on different models.

Will have a look at the old mans horn in the VZ. Might/hopefully be similar size to the magna ones and you never know, the connection might be the same.

Will find out.

Ill take one to

It's just a horn...lol

its not that when ppl hear the horn they think hmm thats a nice horn.
its because when you blast some jerk for cutting you off he doesnt think wow that sounds *****

i wonder if anyone put the dukes of hazard horn in the're magna:bowrofl: :bowrofl:
I wouldnt mind doin that... my mate actually told me i should get it... but how argh lol

its not that when ppl hear the horn they think hmm thats a nice horn.

I doesn't make sense to me...considering a horn isn't for that reason anyway. And besides, he's already cut you off...what are you going to do? Blast your horn and cry all the way home? :P (For the e-sensitives, I'm fooling around so stay your flame throwers ;))

its better than blowing him a kiss

You could just blow him :P

im with KB, its just a horn

i think ive used it about 2 times in 3 years of driving magnas

i let my driving do the talking, dropping a gear and burning past somone works well, or putting the clutch in and revving the engine, i just smoking it up on the spot works well too


i sound like abit of a tosser dont i lol

ive had parts replaced in my horn twice now (under warranty) and its stuffed up again.. sounds embarrassing..

380 horns are much better, mazda 6 horns FTW tho.. those things are ****en loud as!

I have installed the 2006 Nissan Pathfinder horn and believe me when i toot people either jump or move quickly.lol

Try googling 'hornblasters' These people mount train horns on their cars:shock: .

I have Tri-Air Horns in my car but have not wired them up yet because the wiring diagram is a bit of a ***** for me to handle, is it possible just to hook the comressor to the exsisting horn wiring?

The BMW type horns can be purchased from Autobarn etc for around $40 brand new - however I don't think the aftermarket ones are as loud and have a slightly different note. I have some in my TH atm, but the standar wiring is **** house. I am remounting them behind the grill and hooking up a relay to it.

This is what they look like:

Just thought I would mention that I have hooked them up behind the grill and wired up a relay to them. Lets just say they will get the message across :)

When replacing with a "BMW" horn, will i need to grab two from the wreckers? Because under the front bar there are two horns on each side and i've also got a horn under the bonnet! What's the go. I changed the passenger side horn under the front bar with a stock one and it sounds like roadrunner :sook:

So in total i found 3 horns on the car.
Dunno what the one under the bonnet is for. Maybe the alarm? :think:

i guess it is for the alarm. i had 1 behind the bar and then replaced that 1 with the twin BMW's as they were ment to work together as one is a slightly different shape and size which gives the nice twin tone sound. you will know when you see it.
were behind grill i think i could be wrong
but i dont know what you are talking about having 3 horns? just sit in front of it and get someone to blast the horn and see which one is working.

Yeah its got a PA system too with the mic, there awesome when ppl walking accross the road and you yell at them :bowrofl:


where abouts did you get it from and how much did it cost??

The horn on the car in my avatar seems to work well for getting people out of my way.......

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Just pocketed two mercedes horns from pick and payless. They sound great!
I like the low tone horns. Sound way better than the old road runner beep beep ones.
Suits the car better. Sounds more classier i reckon :)

Haha
Really happy! :D

I put an airhorn in my magna, tooted some ******** who cut me off. They proceeded to follow me and when I parked keyed TOOT TOOT across my bonnet....

wtf......Should of taken note of there car and done the same thing....fa**ts
How do you put a new horn in anyway? Is it just a case of out with the old in with the new?

yeah thats about it if you are going electric, but if you go air horn you need to install an air pump and hoses and stuff. and the hole thing starts to go crap after a while if you dont use it much, my dads car did. so i just went twin tone horn and bolted right on

']im going to pick a part in like 10 mins...what cars horns are nice? Ive gathered BMW ones so far
Yeah BMW, Mercedes and Ford Falcons

Dunno why people would go to so much effort installing air horn and PA systems etc. etc.
Just get a nice horn and you're set

I bought some electric shell type horns for my maggie today. Got them from AutoPro for $24.99. They came with wiring instructions but no wire or a relay but I had that stuff lying around anyway.

They have the same note as your BMW, Ford Falcon horns etc. One is a 60DB low and the other a 60DB high for a 120DB total. They are very loud and authoritive.:)

Here are some photos (hosted from imageshack)

http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/9536/horns001xw4.th.jpg (http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?image=horns001xw4.jpg)

From the first photo you will see that I have mounted them to an existing bolt next to the headlights (no mod to the brackets required). I also mounted them upside down and below the grill to:

- Avoid water getting into the shell when I hose the car and;
- To enable easy access should they need a re-tighten on the bracket or adjustment to wiring.

I was able to tuck most of the wiring away after this photo but those I could not, I sprayed black so it was not visible through the grill.

It was almost like the front of my car was designed to fit these horns.

There is a screw with wires for something or rather so I screwed the relay there out of harms way hidden by the washer bottle.

If you in the Central Coast area, there is one set left at AutoPro West Gosford. They are well worth it for $25.

Hey those look neat!

So are they just plug and play? Replace the old horns with these ones?
Post a sound clip! HAHA :D

There is a bit of wiring involved but it's very straight forward. If you refer to this wiring diagram you will see that you can install a switch on relay 86 should you want to keep your existing horns operational as well. I didn't bother and instead left the existing horn there with the wire so if needed, I can just disconnect the new horns and connect the old ones in a few minutes.

As for the sound clip part, I'll see what I can do.:cool:

i'm thinking more like a 156db train horn :bowrofl:you think people would move fast then ?

BUT ... you'll get noticed.
