The horns on my 72 Challenger are toast. I need a recommendation for replacement that is LOUD. I don't want to spend the money for reproduction OE style. Thanks guys.

Why not rebuild your own. I used Mike Ross's method to rebuild an old Spartan horn.

Here's my step-by step "how to", not all the tough really.1. Split the horn in half.From the power side, take a drill bit that is larger then the swedge and drill until it is no longer holding the two halfs together. Drill all 6 and pull it apart. Make note of the orientation o...

I bought a set of these for my Charger. I used my old brackets and they work just fine. Much cheaper than spending a ton of money to buy a over priced vintage pair that probably don't work any better that the ones you have.

Xcudame isn’t kidding. I had a neighbor with these and I about jumped out of my shoes the first time he honked at me with them

Yup, not much to them. Drill out the rivets, soak everything in Evaporust, tap the holes for small machine screws and reassemble. Chances are good they'll start working again.

I put late model Ford Explorer horns on mine. They don't look stock but don't look like they don't belong either. ebay or the wrecking yard they are every where just make sure you cut the pigtail so you have a clean install.

Any chance you have a pic?

Its on a stacker out back in the garage. Maybe from the bottom There's a crap ass duster underneath it that hates a cold start for whatever reason "6cyl." I have no intention of doing anything but yanking out. I'll see what I can do. They come on one bracket and were a breeze to install.

Sorry for the delay this is the best I could do with it up on stacker. Excuse the wiring I was try to get everything ready for the power tour trip to Vegas so it was rushed.

Thx for the pics, any idea on what year I should be looking for?
That bracket is from the Ford too? Just unbolt that and grab the wiring harness?
May be headed to the JY next month.

Yes it comes as an assy I would look on ebay as those are off of like 2015 up any ford product. I got mine for $47 from lkq group. Came complete with 2 horns and the bracket as well as the pigtail. I work in the collision industry so I get to see a bunch of modern things like these horns that to the purest it would be sac religious. I've always been a function guy over oe so this was any easy adaption. I'm all but sure any ford built after 2012 or so would have a similar if not exact set up. I just checked ebay $25.00 for the exact horns i have. The fF150's are probably everywhere at a pick a part they are the same.

Great info, thx!
My car is a mishmash of parts, so I'm always looking for an upgrade.
