Default Horn sux

Rolling down the street the other day, car backing out of a driveway. I laid on my stock horn and sitting over the actual horn, I myself could barely hear it. Anyone know of a good aftermarket decibel enhanced horn that won’t look out of place or does hd sell a better to take the place of the stock unit?

I found the most recent stock horn to be quite loud compared to my original 14 year old unit. They did a lot of upgrades since then, cant hurt to try.

I know what you mean, several times cagers have gotten a dirty look and my left blinker. That'll teach 'em!

You have this


Maybe this (No idea on the stupid soundtrack but you can hear the horn above it. Skip to 33 seconds.

The 13 year old stock horn on my Heritage was weak. Replaced it with the FIAAM and it was a big improvement. Direct bolt in replacement for the stock horn.

This. Got one on Reaper, and I can actually hear it over her exhaust, and wind noise, with plugs in and music playing, when I hit the button!!

Cheers!
