I'm gonna change the weiner horn on my '93. Now, I have a choice to make:

A. Hit the junk yard and find a set of older 240 horns for a stock but strong sound. Pros - price and Volvoness. Cons - liable to be crusty, may not work at all.

B. Buy a set of Fiamm horns from the local auto part store. Pros - easiest option. Cons - ??

C. AIR HORN!! I've been thinking about this, and those rare times (VERY rare) that I use the horn I damn well want to be heard. It could in fact be a matter of safety one day to have the horn blast heard over some jackass's dual subs. Pros - pure volume potential. Cons - space under the hood, cost.


I know I'll need to add a relay since the '93 didn't - I believe - have one for that anemic little horn. But I'll need to do that for any of my options so it's not a concern.

Just wondering if the volume of the air horn is worth the cost and space under the hood.

Any thoughts?
