Nice to meet you.

I was just making a joke. Theres a jounalist name Doug Demuro that doesnt live in NJ but parks his car(s) there. He used to own a Ferrari so the random bits kinda clicked for a second lol

You can access the horns by lifting the front end and removing the cover from the bottom of the car. I recently replaced my horns that way with a pair from a Subaru Tribeca and it sounds like MUCH better now.

What is wrong with the stock sound?

I think the stock horn is pretty decent already. Could have use that money for something else...

I have driven through Hoboken. I would want a way better horn that there is on these cars as well!
Most pitiful thing I have ever heard. My Geo Metro horn sounded like a Mack truck in comparison to these.


The very next level down is:

I thought the stock horn was pretty embarrassing to use. It sounded to me like Toyota took it right out of a 1980's era Corolla.

The two Tribeca horns were $15 each. I think that is a pretty cheap mod for a decent sounding horn. But, if you like the stock horn, more power to you my friend.

Howdy,
I don't see any Tribeca horns with the correct, 2-pin square socket. What year Tribeca is this from?
