i have an ooga and it's a pretty strait. but i don't suggest getting one because they're not safe at all. good for laughs but on the freeway you can't even hear it. i'm actually going back to my factory horns and at some time down the line i'm installing a train horn...hehe

I thought you hooked up the stock and ooga together?

This is the horn I have:

It will scare the crap out of people pretty well. It is a bit of a "nice" sounding horn, though, so it doesn't really annoy as much as it is loud.

I'm no fan of the smart car, but I thought the video was funny.

It's the black horn:
Black, Ultra Compact Air Horn - $39.99

I used the included relay and wired it into the existing horn circuit. So, I am using two relays but I haven't had a problem yet.

I was thinking about swapping the 7th gen accord horn onto my 6th gen. They're a bit louder and deeper. I did the swap my 05 RSX-S and it was a direct swap. I think the RSX-S has a quiter and higher pitch than the 6th gen accord.

2007 accord horn. (only $17 for each horn http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com...ry4=KA5AT&catcgry5=CONTROL+UNIT+(ENGINE+ROOM))

I lmay like the 2008 accord horn better (it's on a fit) (and only $10!! http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com...&catcgry5=CONTROL+UNIT+(ENGINE+ROOM)+(1)+(L4))

I installed some German horns a long time ago, that I bought from Griot's, using the relay that came with the kit. Very easy, very straightforward.

But I kept the stock horn, and ran a new wire to a push-button switch in the blank cover by the cruise on-off switch just left of the steering wheel. That way I can use the stock horn for a friendly 'hi' or use the German horns for the idiots who need a wake-up call.

Wow this is something that never even crossed my mind to do to my car, haha. Interesting though.
