I have to take off my front bumper. What should I install while I'm back there?

[Zelixir]

very loud (for the combo of the Hella and FIAMM Freeway Blaster)

The first time I used these horns (on my FL5) I was used to do a long press on the OEM wimpy horn. got flipped by a Harley rider who cut me off, then threw a fire cracker at me...

I now only do very short taps on the horns unless I have to.

If I recall correctly, it was over 120dB using one of the apps on the cell phone about 4ft away

yikes lol would hate to be on the other end of that. still that high pitch stock horn sound or is it pretty normal? i dont get good enough service out here to load any videos but i might have to check it out myself before buying

I vaguely recall the Hella tone being described as "ugly" (or similar), I don't care how "pretty" the sound is, all I cared about was super loud so I can be heard when needed

which it is...

118dB is about twice as loud as 108-110dB OEM horns

I asked my favorite AI tool, Grok to summarize reviews, and provide sound clips:

The Hella Supertone is a twin disc horn kit with a high-tone (500 Hz) and low-tone (300 Hz) pair, rated at 118 dB from 2 meters. This dual-frequency setup creates a harmonic blend that amplifies noticeability. Hypothesis: Because the low tone provides depth and the high tone adds sharpness, the result is a penetrating sound that travels farther than single-tone horns, leading to better safety in traffic.

• Powerful and penetrating: Creates an intense, far-reaching warning signal that "cuts through noise" on busy roads or freeways, making it ideal for safety in high-traffic or off-road scenarios.
• Authoritative and noticeable: Users note it's "much easier to notice" than stock horns (often ~110 dB and "wimpy"), with a "rich harmonic" blend that feels assertive and aggressive, evoking European-style truck horns.
• Sharp and focused: The high/low combo yields a "sharply focused sound emission" that's piercing and ear-splitting (in a positive, attention-grabbing way), often sharper and more engaging than conventional single-tone beeps.
• User opinions from reviews: "Looks great and sounds even better... definitely will get someone’s attention." "Ear splitting... love everything about them." Some find it "too much like a fishmarket truck," preferring the deeper Sharptone variant, but most praise its reliability and volume for real-world use. Based on current data, it's louder and more durable than factory options, though installation may require wiring tweaks—this may vary by vehicle.
