Horny Stuff

Happy solution for the piss weak horn problem,

Originals are at the top (CRAP!!!)
The 2 below are from a Falcon and an Astra.... cost me 10 bucks at the wreckers

No more hiding when I hit the horn... YAY!!!!

Holy hell, why does an Astra need that kinda horn!

[Steveyb]

Dunno, but I have noticed that all small cars have better tone/bigger horns going on

[MarkYounger]

Yeah mate I've got 2 similar horns installed right behind my grill. Works great as we use our horns here as a second language.

Yes the horns on the hilux are a digrace, Ive been contemplating throwing a air tank and horn in but will probably opt for one off ebay stebel http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Stebel-Nauti ... 1c21e969ac

I'm with Kyle here as I have had mine for a while now and very happy

Kyle I've got the Stebel, it's ****ing grouse

Loud as all hell, and cheap as chips as well. Bit bulky though lol

[cauchs]

Are the Astra/Falcon horns a pretty easy swap? Much difference in mounting/wiring?

[Qwerty]

yeah same question as cauchs, is this a plug n play scenario?

my VE ute had a great deep spike the blood pressure type horn, as did astra

Yet a big heavy truck has a little beep beep barina horn.

Does anyone have the Stebel Nautilus non-compact version?

How is the fit?

yep, fits no problem. mine is mounted on the crossmember thingy in front of the radiator - the thing where the horn wires clip into, drilled an 8mm hole and all good.

Thanks Actilux,

I can't believe you pay $40-odd K and you get a clown car horn...

Those Astra horns are great, got a pair in my 07 lux. The plugs are different, however, I went to the trouble of putting together a separate loom and relay, as the trumpet style horns use more power, and I thought the original wires looked a bit poxy for the job.

[Qwerty]

it's just a single DC positive and negative wire to the horn yeah? No rason I can't just snip the wire for existing horn, solder in the new horn ... 2 minute job?

[crawfy]

Should work fine. Dunno whether the horns are polarity sensitive or whatever, I just checked with Holden which wires were + and -.

[Steveyb]

From memory I just changed the plug and used existing mounting bolt. 10 min job

This bad boy at 135psi blows hatch backs off the rd. I'm always waiting for the person in front to not see the green light....

[Mattya]

Had to run a switch to select between the two horns as I keep forgetting that it's there. Now I have the option of a friendly toot.

I like it, I always wanted to permanently mount a compressor and air tank to run a pair of truck air horns....... with the pull string above my door and all!

i put a cheap Stebel air horn in mine. It does a decent job for less than $50
