Horn replacement ideas

My horn is sounding sick and its on its way out. Ebay has a ton of aftermarket horns. I would like a better sounding horn than the OEM it came with. What are the popular replacement's for my Homer Hot Rod?

My solution was a twin horn from a 2010 Camaro SS , they bolted up easy with little modifications, sounds good, and wasn’t expensive

I mounted twin horns from a Csdillsc CTS.
As oldblue stated, plug and play (or honk)
Horns came prewired as a set.
I modify the mounting bracket so that both horns faced foward.
(but I have issues)

Yes I spliced in a wire to both horns then to the original horn wire.

I added a 3 tone set of Caddy horns from the 90's. Mounted all on the OE 1 bolt. soldered all the wires together.

That OE stock HHR horn wasn't even cute, it was embarrassing. imo.

Agree with ya. Even before it starting acting up, it really wasn't a good sound.
