I almost never ever want to honk my horn at anyone because the horn sounds so gay it should sound more along the lines of a ford or something not that i like the american cars or anything just the sound of the horn ..which brings me to my question does anyone know how to swap out the horn with a new new one?

I bought this super loud 139db airhorn online for like $50 and boy, this thing is loud. Your current horn is probably 80db. Big rig is between 150-170db. To install this depends on how well you know your way around relays. You can find any mounting point under your car and mount this then just tap the hot wire from your present horn into the relay and a constant hot from your battery. Ground the thing and scare whoever wants to play. Just dont abuse it coz remember you drive a Benz.

That thing looks like it could blow the wheels off a car! I don't know if all S's come w/ the same horn, but mine sounds like the one on all of my parents old Cadillac’s. They are very plain and anemic sounding to me. I really don't like it.

My Toyota has that Griot's Horn, it's definitely NOT gay...it'll wake up the grannies in the left lane too...
