The first car/truck I ever purchased is my 1997 Toyota Tacoma. I bought it new. It has been a workhorse but the one thing that has bothered me is the wimpy horn. Does anyone have suggestions for something that sounds more aggressive that I can pick up at Pep Boys or something? No, I don't want the douchebag freight train horn...LOL!

I can't recall the part number right now but at Pep-Boys they have a horn kit that I used on my 1987 Bronco. It has a very aggressive sound without being annoying. I'll look for the part number for you in a few minutes as I have to go out to my shed anyhow .

While I was reading that I was thinking train horn. Then I got to the end and went awwww.

I use that as a ringtone on my Droid for my Southern friends.

AutoZone has a better deal. Here's a couple options:

You're west coast though, so you need one that plays the Beverly Hillbillies theme.

I had an air horn in my 1984 Escort in the early 90s. It did get people to move on the streets of Boston though.

On a serious note any low tone OEM replacement horn (like the 2nd one Daddeo listed) would butch it up for you. Good luck!


Edit: a couple people on a Tacoma forum were happy with Hella Supertone horns. You may want to research those too... they seem to be 300 & 500 Hz so they have some high end. I still prefer the single low tone horns.

Hella SuperTones. Loud as f**k.

Control your road rage and you won't need a horn...

Actually, who needs a horn...
