    Horn was my first mod. No more anemic chirp when using keyless lock.
    Seriously looking at one of these...

    that was funny...but seriously, would a train horn and everything you needed to run it actually fit under the hood?

    There is a lot of space under the hood. But I think a motorcycle train horn will be enough.

    Harbor Freight sells a plastic version of this horn. I bought it for my scooter and am thinking about putting one on the Mirage. There is PLENTY of room to put one of these smaller air horns on a Mirage. A true train horn though, there is not enough room for one or the air tank needed to supply enough air for one.

    But it is plastic so you have to take that into consideration when mounting and running the hose.

    Thanks to metro for splitting this up.

    I want to dedicate this thread to see what everyone has - or are thinking about getting.

    There is no reason why our small cars cant have a large horn. In fact, because we are so small, we should at least have a louder horn for those idiots who don't look at their blind sides.

    I want stock snail-type horns though... What, in the mitsu lineup has those horns?

    Harbor freight has some cheezy looking snail horns. For 10$+tax, I think I'll try it out and return if I don't likey: http://www.harborfreight.com/catalog.../result?q=horn

    Those are what we usually use for car modding. Usually the 2nd one because setting them up behind a grill can look pretty cool. They come in all types of colors to suit your theme.
