Gen 5 - Horn is weak.

2002 Camry - I find the stock horn sound too be pretty feeble / weak. Sounds like a toy car!

I noticed my friends honda pilot stock horns and man they were loud.

Any upgrades? I am not looking for a crazy loud horn. Just something real!.

I checked ebay. I was surprised to see that horns aren't that cheap.

I'll try to get like a honda stock horn I guess.

Isnt the stock gen 5 horn the same as the gen 6? The gen 6 is pretty impressive. You should listen to the rav4 or highlander horn its a joke

small price to pay for being able to obnoxiously let some idiot driver know he's/she's an idiot!

Although I'm not riding on air, I have an air system on my '02 LE V6
I'm all about pneumatics though and had to have an air horn too
Here's a clip of what's on my car: stock horn first, followed by triple trumpet air horns.
Video doesn't catch the lower tones too well, but the echoes are there

Just sharing If you're going to get an air horn, please blast responsibly.

I picked up air horns from a hardware store for $20. It was easy to install and the looks I get when I lay on it is priceless. It's not the loudest but definitely louder than the stock horn.

If I was young again, I'd get the whistling dixie horn. Dukes of Hazards was one of my favorite shows back in the day.
