Horns

Anybody ever put an aftermarket horn on their Fbody?? I was thinking of using a truck horn like on my brothers Taurus. Just wondering if it would be an ok idea, or would it screw up the Fbody image??

I've got a 4-tone horn setup from a fwd Buick Park Ave, it's awesome!! If i'm sitting at a really slow light, and I don't hear radios or much other noise than the traffic, I take it upon myself to break the ice by wailing on my horn and watching how many people jump. If you've never heard one, the Buick horns sound similar to a locomotive, and they are LOUD.

I am considering a decent air horn for those trips to Jersey ...I'm born and raised there, but damnit, its RARE to find someone who actually knows how to operate anything on wheels in that state. This way, the next time some @$$hole decides he/she is bad @$$ in their Mitsus**tty, I'll sound like a freight train comming like a bat out of hell. If I had a Hummer, it'd be all over right then and there...no horn necessary

I remember when I went to Manhatan, this seems to be the general attitude up there. Makes my area seem polite!
