Does anyone know of a louder horn replacement that can be put in the place of the stock horn? I was thinking about one of those air horns until I read about the failure rates.

If you really want it "in place of the stock horn" ie. to minimise the effort involved and just put something where the stock horn is, then the nautilus is way too big. Folks who have fitted it (including myself) have had to put it in a gap behind the cowling between widnscreen and dash.

If you do find one that's significantly louder and will just replace the stock one (same location and wiring) you'll be a very popular guy!

I'm a little leary about the Stebel since I have seen a few articles about a high failure rate. Has anyone experienced a failure yet?

Over 15,000 miles on 250 and over 4,000 miles on 400 and both Stebels still working fine.

P.S. 8/3/09 edit: according to a review from another web site, the MP3 hybrid has a new horn. Link in the thread posted above.
