    Hello Folks,

    I pressed the horn this morning and it has a high pitch, not the regular deeper tone that our 2nd gens normally have. I opened the hood and tapped on the horn closest to the drivers side and now it sounds like normal.

    I want to replace both horns with something as loud or louder than OEM. No air horns, just regular horns.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Yeah the horns in my Taco are fickle too. Sometimes it's deep, sometimes it's pretty gay.

    The worst I had was my 2008 4Runner. That sucker was so effeminate sounding that I'd rather have run over a group of toddlers and done the jailtime than to honk at them to get outta the way. It was pretty bad.
