[Shop-talk] Couple aftermarket car questions - non-air horn suggestions

[PJ McGarvey]

I did some research awhile back on a good non-air horn for my left lane
monster (turbocharged 85 Golf) since thre are way too many idiots in the
passing lane in my area.  I had narrowed it down to a few, one of which was an
"Italian style" from Griot's Garage which had a unique sound and was louder
than normal - all the saved URLs I have from my research are at home...

I plan to wire it to a separate switch on the dash for certain occasions.  I
never pulled the trigger on the purchase, but think about it each time I need
it... didn't think to ask the list what they might recommend for a good
electric horn with some nice decibels that won't take up too much space under
the hood or behind the bumper.
