    My 2011 horn sounds to weak for my taste.

    What is the loudest horn yet easy to install myself ? I have tools just never did one at all

    Is there a how to video on a gen 3 prius?

    I'm sure someone has done an air horn but that might be too much and probably more difficult

    Thank you

    There are a number of good threads about horn upgrades that you can find with the search function. Good luck!

    BTW, this is the forum for 2010+ Prii.

    There is a link in my sig below to evpc's horn upgrade thread. Installation is easy, if you have small hands, you don't need to loosen the bumper cover.

    Amazon sells electric airhorns like the Wolo Bad Boy.

    One of these days......:rolleyes: ......I plan to visit AutoZone or Pep Boys and look at Highway Blasters and the like.
    After finding the Prius horn and seeing what size it is and how it mounts.
    That kind of a replacement should be fairly easy and no relay required.
    Pretty much ALL of the air horns pull too much current to do without a relay.
    So do some of the dual horn replacements.

    PIAA 400/500hz Sport Horns are awesome.

    I saw that before......and visited the web site.....and almost clicked on "add to shopping cart".......but then remembered some trouble I've had in the past when something just didn't QUITE fit right........and decided I needed to get a good eyeball on the new one before getting it.

    One wire or two and the mount can make a big difference.
    I also need something for an Elantra and a motorcycle.

    It is the ambition to tackle the whole thing that I lack !! :whistle:
