Louder horns?

Post by ramair68 »

I have a 2005 SLE and the horns sound like old people's car horns. I checked them and they both work. Was just wondering if there's another set of horns out there that is louder and better sounding. I do want to stay with a direct bolt on, maybe GM application without having to mod or drilling holes. Are the horns on the Bonneville GXP the same?

Horns on our GXP, Suburban, and 2500HD are all very similar. My car would be too, but the low horn is gone.

Define better sounding?

I like the Park Avenue horns, and they are louder, but they probably sound more "old people".

when my horns stopped working, I bought 2 replacements & 2 highway blasters I think they are called. Installed 1 regular & 1 blaster in the stock location. & the same on the other side of the car. Run the wires throug the front of the car to the horn cables. & now is loud. More like a truck kind of loud, but not there yet.
