I have the 3 ribbed and love it. Bought mine in a package deal with some other buddies. Some bought the cowbell and it works good too.

I had to send mine back because it stopped working, they replaced the inner (like wolo/stebil) unit, with in a month the plastic housing cracked. I'd go minibeast or chrome wolo/stebil

I have the Magnum and I like it because it looks somewhat like the original but bigger. Major warning is that these people will take your money and then they'll send your horn whenever they get around to it. They won't answer the phone or call you back. If you do manage to contact them they'll give you a list of excuses. I waited almost a month. Some have waited longer.
Nice product but customer service is the worst I've experienced from anyone I found on this forum. I wonder how they stay in business.

I've had the Magnum on my SG for the last year. I think its great.
My research said to avoid dealing w/ MetalArts because of their
slow/non-existant customer service. I believe that most of what
you're paying for is the over-sized cowbell because the horn I have
has a wolo horn under the cover.

READ before you buy.. We assemble and test each horn as they are ordered... delivery times may vary..if you are in a hurry, or just impatient please don't order without talking to us first. Some days are just too nice to stay inside and not ride.Thanks.

They put this prominently on their web page . Not defending them , I've never done business with them , but they do appear to be up-front about their work habits.
