Has anyone replaced the pathetic horn on their 2003 Elantra GT? I almost got creamed today by some moron who drifted right into my lane. My horn was useless. I want to replace it with something louder. I don't want air horns or anything, just something I can mount in the front where the original is and will use the same wires but is much louder. Any suggestions? Also, I couldn't figure out how to unplug the wires from the existing horn. I could unclip the plastic thingy (technical term) but no matter how I pulled it wouldn't come out. I could cut the wires, and will if necessary.

I know the XG350 horn is "Plug and Play" with the 02 Santa Fe, I would guess it is the same connector on them all and the XG350 sounds MEAN.
:)

(My wife complained about her wimpy horn also)

BTW, the XG horn is $50 new (each, low tone and high tone!)

Buying 'em from J. C. Whitney is a LOT cheaper....
 
Jerry,
Thanks for the info. After reading the article, I went to Pep Boys and got a Fiamm Freeway Blaster (high note) for $15. I think I'm going to get the low note one as well and combine them in place of my existing horn. http://www.fiammamerica.com/Product.asp?ProductID=155

Does anyone know what the Decibel rating of the standard horn is? The one I bought is a 130 db rating and I'm wondering how much louder it is than what I have now.

You can listen to some horns here. Usual disclaimers.
