Aftermarket Horn?

Hello, has anyone here replaced their stock horn for an aftermarket one of a different pitch? If so, any suggestions?

Not liking how the stock one sounds, would like it to be deeper and a tad louder. Talk about petty mods...

I replaced mine with Bosch Europa horns that I installed in my previous e-class coupe.



Unfortunately, I didn’t wanna go through the hassle of removing the front bumper to access the front grille of the c43. So, I just installed it behind the front outer grille which is where the original horns were located. I did it by peeling back the inner fender liners.

Wow these are huge compared to the stock snail horns!
