Default S2000 and the worst horn in the world

I'm sure this has been covered before.....but the thing i hate the most about my S2K is the horn...........

It is the worst horn tone in the world.....you try and express your anger in roadrage situations, but people look at you gone out at the crapness of this sound coming out from behind the bumper

In fact it works quite well in dispersing my anger, as soon as i hit that middle button on the steering wheel, i end up thinking "why did you do this to me mr honda....WHY!!!!....people think my best mate is Big Ears dam you"

A job for the weekend i feel, but is it a simple case of replacing the horn unit itself....i dont need to start replacing relays and fuses etc?

Dan.

My 00 model is awful, not particulary loud, quite an unmanly tone.....more of a "yoo hoo" type tone.

You could try one of these

Scroll down to the Stebel Nautilus Ultra Compact Air Horn Black

I think a number of members have fitted one of these

Mine on the 03 is also lame, like a mouse fart amplified.

I might retro fit one off an EK9.
