Queen Mary
I was surfing You Tube the other day and found this great video of some guys who installed a horn in their pick-up truck that sounded like the Queen Mary. They were driving around town blasting the thing at unsuspecting pedretians and recording their reactions.
I do not want a Queen Mary horn, but I was wondering if there is any after market product out there that is a whole lot louder than the standard horn on the MB. Also I suspect that it has to meet certain specs or it would invalidate the warrenty. Any suggestions?

I needed the horn the other night as someone tried to drift into my lane. Only one of the two horns sounded, so I am still looking for a new louder horn. I saw a post about the Blaster Horns, but I do not want to instaff an air compressor. Is it a big deal to install one of the horms that Pep Boys sell? Thanks.

All super loud high school kid style horns require a compressor. Hella makes OEM replacement horns, so look for them. You can put in Hella twin trumpet horns (electric ones, no compressor) if you have engine bay space. Or just get the Hella twin supertones: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HLA-003399801 They sound like those obnoxious high pitched horns from 1950s European cars in old Italian movies.
The horn on MBs is perfectly adequate. People drifting into your lane probably won't hear anything until it's too late. A louder horn will scare the sh*t out of them anyway and they'll run into you or go off the road.
Defensive driving is really the only weapon.
