Modifying stock horns

[5-O Cummins]

Was wondering if anyone has done a mod to modify the stock horns to sound better/louder. I see that mine has 2 separate horns but they sound like they should be on a tricycle. I actually won't even use the horn because it sounds so awful. Any insight would be great.

I've got a set of cheap air horns tucked behind the front bumper... I did that a long time ago... I have no idea if my stock horns work or not but I sure hear the air horns good...

Yeah I was thinking of air horns but can't cut it right now. Wasn't sure if there was a cheap plug n play type deal to replace the stock horns.

Your going to laugh... The air horns on my truck are over 20 years old and cheap Pep Boys air horns like $29 bucks. Then I wired the horns into the stock horns by picking out the rubber seal on the stock wire carefully and slid it back a bit then tucked the new horn wire right along side the factory wires. The end of the wires are just stripped and push into the sockets and the rubber seal pressed in place... Serious...

Wow!So no actual air and the horns still work good? May have to give something like that a try, I'm off tomorrow, lol.

$15 Harbor Freight trash air horns purchased last night for my truck :cookoo:You can get a set of Hella Dualtones for about $40 that look just like the factories, and sound fantastic. They'd be plug and play.
