MS3 Horn

[Psycho_Maz]

you have a sound clip? did you just took out the OEM, or you put it along side the OEM? i have the same horn but i'm too lazy to install it (sssh)

I just mounted it in the hole just above the stock horn. So, I have two horns. There is a threaded hole where the autozone low tone fiam horn fits perfect. I screwed it in there. there is a sound clip in the How To section for the same horn.

This reminded me of some fool I saw in a jacked-up pickup that had installed a train horn. Yes, I'm talking about a commercial freight train. Of course, he thought it was hilarious to drive by someone and let her rip. It was funny the first time I heard it - after about the 4th time, I decided he was quite the a**hole.

Oops - just scrolled back up and saw J-Villa's post. Guess that makes the Jaguars a bunch of a-holes too (we don't have a pro football team here, so I think I'm safe in saying that )

horn came in handy yesterday

i was on a 3-lane street, in the middle one, had cars to the L and R. was following a rental [shoulda been my 1st clue to find another lane]. there's a steady green stoplight- rental car stops as if he was colorblind and seeing red. i couldn't believe my eyes...

guy decides he's lost so instead of pulling over he just stops and blocks traffic. would you believe that even after laying on the double loud horns for a good 10 secs he wouldn't budge? "By god, i'm good & lost and i'm a-staying put until i figure out where i am!" un-*******-believable! (gun)

Hi everyone

I purchased my 2008.5 MS3 about 2 weeks ago and just recently noticed how "wimpy" the horn sounds after some jerk cut me off during my morning commute. What have you guys done to improve the tone? Any suggestions as far an inexpesive upgrade?

haha i noticed it when i cam back from the dealer and hit the lock button twice i was so disappointing i guess its not a big deal but still prob the wost car horn i have ever had lol

 

[screaminMS]

i usually just blow off at people. got a turbo xs RFL. lol. its gets there attention real quick and you get that WTF face lmao.

i have the hella supertown knock offs mounted in the same stealth mounting as pictured by builthatch. very european would love to have slightly lower sound but they are loud

i swapped out my high pitch tone with a low pitch tone from a mazda 6 at the junkyard...spent $5.... although it's a low pitch, it's still a lil wimpy for me, but DEFINITELY better than the high pitch it came with. maybe one day i'll go with a dual tone....

Hmmmm good idea... I had a 6 and it had a way better horn.

lol, hilarious stuff in this thread.

since getting my ms3 a few weeks ago, I have also noticed the wimpiness of the horn. good to hear there are a bunch of options out there to go about fixing it.

then again, I also agree that the horn is very rarely necessary, so it's not a huge deal.

I just need a friggn dual missile launcher attached my vehicle and I will be good 2 go.

well, the 6 has a low tone horn and a high tone horn. the 3 just has a high tone horn.....i just didn't want to do any kinda splicing to put both horns from the 6. so i just went with the low tone.

i don't think it's so much that we "use" it....i personally hated walking away from the car and hitting the key fob twice and hearing that girly horn beep......

Any video of what just the low tone horn sounds like?

Anyone who says they don't use their horn much obviously doesn't live in Portland, OR. You'd be surprised how often hippies need to be reminded that green means go.

(lol2)

I used to have a similar mentality about horn usage (the "why would anyone care about what their horn sounds like??" mentality) until I moved from Central IL to Chicago...I used my horn a LOT when living downtown. You'd never be able to get by without one. The best was when I had the compact air horn on my Focus...Jaywalking pedestrians be damned!@!! (thumb)

Ha! Or live in Orlando - you'd be surprised how many times tourists do the unthinkable, like bolting from 1 lane to another, cut you off, stop in front of a green light, go the wrong way down a one-way street, pull out of an intersection and then slam on the brakes w/ no traffic coming, signal R and keep going straight....(chair)

sure don't.... but i'll see what i can do tomorrow morning when i get off work, if i remember. but, imagine the stock horn, just a couple tones/pitches lower.

Has anyone installed a intercom system/horn? how much do they run?

 

[MikeHTally]

Do you mean paging? "Intercom" refers to inter-communications, meaning the other driver could talk to you. All you need for that is a CB and a paging horn. Oh, BTW -- don't expect them to hear you with the windows closed and other ambient noise.

 

[Saskatchewan17]

I just youtubed hella supertones. I think they sound like crap! The low tone horn add on is much better sounding IMO.

 

[karl hungus]

don't settle for just the low tone. still ghey. les told me even a nutless monkey can splice the low tone fiamm and screw it into the unused bracket.
