-----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Jack

Has anyone ever gone to the trouble to improve or replace these things with something that actually sounds like a horn?

>>> Yup, about six years ago I replaced it with a pair of air-horn style deals that are "tuned" to create max resonance when honked. Can't remember where I got them... maybe a marine store? I don't recall having any problems with space, but I'll have to take a look again sometime - it might not be exactly where the old one was.

Scared the sh*t out of some dumb darting pedestrians and a few folks who thought they could cut off a Vanagon. Nobody expects that much noise from a VW - they're all used to the little "bleeep" factory horns.
