Decided my snail horn needed upgrading so after a bit of research I settled on the Stebel Nautilus Tuning. I chose the Tuning version out of the range as it's designed to be more waterproof and meant for off-road vehicles. This is the horn in question:

This horn is not big, about twice the size of your average snail horn but boy does it pack a punch! I asked my wife to touch it to see if it vibrated whilst I activated it. The poor girl did a backward summersault with inverted twist.

If you're looking to upgrade your horn and like waking up entire neighbourhoods (and their ancestors), this is the horn for you!!

I can report that cars do indeed move out of the way a good 3.7 seconds quicker than they did before!

How did you wire it? Does it mount in the same location? And what did you pay for it? Thanks.

Wow!! I just listened to it on the website... I wonder if they sell this in the good ole USA? Guess I'll check...

They're probably around $40 in the US. I actually didn't need to wire it, it was plug and play for me as the guy who owned my JK from new upgraded the horn to a snail horn. It's a simple job, though and it fit nicely where the old horn had been mounted. Keep in mind that I have a diesel CRD engine in mine and there is far less room in the engine bay than you guys have with the 3.8s.

I run the same horn, manufactured by "WOLO" - its available at auto zone etc for about 68 bucks

Wolo makes it under the "bad boy" name -
Wolo has sound clips for your your listening & comparison pleasure.

a year or 2 ago they came out w/ a new one called the bad boy MAX - its 5db louder w/ a deeper tone.

WIRING - I used the factory horn wiring - occasionally i was popping the fuse on "longer" or "double" toots of the horn so i increased the fuse size from 15a to 20a and haven't had any more issues. FWIW I run the same horn on my wifes miata (stock 15a fuse, and haven't had any issues popping fuses).

amazon prime has the bad boy for 34 bucks & harbor freight even carries it for 39 bucks.
