I need a replacement horn.
Not something that gives innocent pedestrians a heart attack, but definitely something louder than most of the OEM horns which are often too quiet
IMHO.
What would you recommend?
The PIAA dual tone horns are very good, significantly better than a regular car horn/s.

I have a Nautilus Air horn, it's pretty loud, comes with a relay. mine still works great after 10yrs on the car, it's something like 119
dB.
Available on ebay for <20 quid.

Thanks Ian.
I like the spec of the PIAAs; small, lightweight, weather protection.
I also like the sound of the Bass option; nice and macho without being aggressive.
I don't like the £40 price, but I am not against buying quality items that last; I don't know if PIAA have a good reputation for lifespan.
Building my MK INdy i used the horn from my donor Sierra. Passed SVA and was loud enough for other road users to hear.
That said I've always been a fan of the OEM horns Peugeot used on 205 GTIs. Don't know the make/model, but I'm sure something similar
is available as aftermarket option.

You'll do well to see a 205 GTI on the roads. There aren't many about now and those that are tend to be owned by enthusiats who proably
won't have them on the road this time of year
