Default I'm after replacing pathetic horn, any ideas?

I bought a pair of Piaa sports horns off of scooby world to replace the pathetic standard horns on my 03 STI. I've now fitted them but their not much better than the standard ones!

Does anyone know of any decent replacement horns?

Fitted a couple of red twin horns to mine. They were under a £10 and much better.

A friend of mine brought them though so not sure where from. You could try fleabay.

Is there a way of wiring up both a Stebel Nautilus AND the Hella Supertones?..... or have a switch to use one or the other

Technically possible yes, but I'd have to think about how when I'm not drinking beer

To run both you'll need to duplicate the circuits and run the switch feed (ie the current horn live) to the switch connection on the relay of both circuits. Quite easy because you have 2 wires, one from each existing horn.

Alternatively, to switch between, you'll need to find a three pin switch and run the horn live into it. You'll then run a switch from one position to the nautilus set up and one to the hella set up. This will be a bit more involved as you probably want to run a load more wiring to fit the switch in the dash
