Subject: 02 horn question here: What is and where can I find that

high pitched German car horn? I like that sound better than the half dead horn sound I have now. What do I have to get or do to have that?

thanks

remember the 02 is half italian... i like the sound and slight delay of the air compressor coming on and literally blowing the horns.... actually in the 02 there is virtually NO delay since the hoses are so short (im using a cheapie airhorn kit from either jcwhitey or harbor freight). on the jetta i actually set the hose length so that the high pitch horn comes on first and the lower tone a fraction of a second later. very musical.. ;)

i think series wiring would sound awful... i agree you can never have too much horn, especially in a little car..

This is a great and cheap rim for mounting 225.45.15 with flared fenders. I have a set on my 02 and another set on my e30 M3 in 16 x 8.5

Personally I got the "good" set of Hella Horns from Griots Garage (they made me a deal). I'm uber-happy with these, VERY loud, and correct sounding for the car/age...
