Yes, buy Hella Supertone horns. They're like $65. Then sit back and enjoy 118dB of power!

Interesting question. I don't know since I haven't tried it yet. Obviously I am not a horn blower. If I think of it I'll hit it the next time I take my car out.

I almost got run over by an SUV changing lanes. I laid on the horn, and slammed the brakes to avoid them. The horn was so unassuming that the lady waved at me, and smiled.

In smaller cars like this you need a loud horn. People just don't f***ing pay attention. I get cut off all the time in my MR2. Hence the installation of aforementioned Hella Supertones. The loud honkin' exhaust doesn't hurt, either

I have one of those Wolo Bad Boy horns, and while the name is pretty stupid it works quite well. Loud, noticeable and easy to install.
