I dont have any idea what a Maseratti horn sounds
like,
perhaps like an Alpha Romeo spider?

If i could legaly install a truckers air horn, these
days even THAT wouldnt be loud enough to get their
attention:)

But really, my little Mini Cooper has an air horn with
a high pitch, old horn sound thats VERY loud.....it
seems to always wake someone up and keep them from
squishing me like a bug. Im thinking on installing one
in my Vanagon.

I wonder if anyone has done this and also kept the
stock VW horn?
