    imo the stock horn is plenty powerful and sounds great.

    post a clip if you do install it.

    I got one on my 360 spider and it sounds the way a Ferrari horn should sound.

    I've got a Stebel Nautilus 2 tone airhorn (rated at 139db), in my runabout. It's seriously loud. We both took turns having heart attacks when we tested the horn with each other after the install (mechanic - horn, me - in front, and vice versa).

    You can easily get it from eBay. A trick to stop dirt accumulating via the air hose, is to use a cheap plastic fuel filter (note the direction of flow => on the filter ), at the very end of it. Then just cable tie it to the car's chassis.

    Cheers

    These are F355 horns... so it sounds like a 'normal' (pre-360) Ferrari.

    That's a crazy price for a set of Fiamm air horn. You can find these for a fraction of the price.

    There's something about the air horns I love but I can't help but be reminded of the train horn prank.
    Its always a good laugh.

    +1. But interesting though, I've never really needed to use the horn so I don't really know how the stock horn sounds like. Might give it a try.

    I saw in the historical maint records for my CS that the 2nd owner had added a "355 horn". I've never heard a modern ferrari horn, but mine sounds like an air horn of sorts...

    After I got my car I drove to a friend's house and honked the horn and said to myself wtf was that. Lol. I had my horn changed to an air horn by my mechanic and now it sounds like a Ferrari should. Just my opinion.
