I just got my cobalt and yes the horn is very...strange sounding...I want a huge air horn LOL!

 

REPOST!

It would be great to buy one of those HUGE horns they sell online for a horn replacement and blast everbodies windows out.

My brother bought one of these a few years ago and blasted it straight at me. It's hard to tell from the video, but it's extremely loud and almost blew me over

 

thats mean what they did to those people in that video! they didnt just have a laugh and leave, they came back repeaditly and annoyed them!

I have an aftermarket horn, but its not a frickin air horn... its one of those old school oogha horn, like from the 20's. I had a button switch mounted to the floor so I could stomp on it and not have to take my hand off the wheel. (and so my passengers wouldnt play with it) It was on its own circut directly off of the battery, so I didnt sacrafice the original horn. Everybody liked it! I would always blow it when I went to a friends house and what not so people knew it was me.
Fun times.

My friend has small dual air horn, it has a small compressor about the size of a wallet you mount under the hood, you could check into that... its not deafining loud, but it has high enough accustics...

 

This is the horn I have on my Miata. Its loud and has a Ferrari sound to it. I love it.

So are all the horns out there a direct replacement? Or do you have to wire in a realy? I'm terrible with wiring. lol

 

If I had millions of dollars... this would be a very entertaining toy..

 

I think MPx sells one for our car, but honestly I never use my horn, i don't even really know what it sounds like lol.

 

I have been saying for a year (now that I drive through Dallas everyday) that I want a train horn for the Cobalt. Dallas has some of the dumbest, most inconsiderate drivers I have seen, and I have driven everywhere from Oklahoma to the East coast.

Any idea if there would be a good place to mount the train horn on the Cobalt???

And no, not all of them are direct replacement. You can get a factory horn from another GM car to work (like the dual tone ones used in the impala), or you can probably use the stock wiring for a set of hella supertones, but ones like an air horn would require a lot of work.

 

The revival guy probably searched and then resurrected the post.

Usually higher power electric horns require a 12 or thicker gauge wire directly connected to the battery. There is also usually a relay. Hella Supertones are a nice and easy upgrade. Subie guys do it ALL the time. You can bypass the relay if you want but it will be a bit quieter. I have them installed as a direct connect to the OEM horn harness and made custom brackets that bolt onto the lower bolts of the hood latch. They're easily seen through the grill (red behind black). There are some cool looking yellow versions out there. Beware of fakes. You want the real ones from Germany.

With big air horns you're gonna need a storage tank.


Edit: Just noticed I basically repeated what TommyP said. Doh.

 

ya but you worded it much better than I did. I'm thinking about picking up a set of supertones for my evo. My stock horn is embarrassing.

 

I love 'em. Local Subaru guy had someone ask him if they were turbos. Seriously.

 

lol before I knew they were horns I used to think they were off road lights since they always mount them in the grilles
