When I bought a big truck (and I believe the Raptor is a Big Truck), I was expecting a big horn sound. Isn't what I expected.

When I was getting my RPG Race Line UCA installed, I checked out the air horns they had on display.

So today I remedied the less than loud stock horn with a Kleinn Model 130. Now that is a horn with some testosterone behind it!

Here's a pic of the one on display: (mine is on the Raptor)

Agree that the stock horn is a little anemic. It's a LOT better than most OEM horns, but doesn't seem quite enough for truck like a Raptor. On the other hand, I really don't want my truck to sound like a sea-going freighter!

I'll take some pics of the mounting location for the compressor and tank (frame, passenger side) and horns (behind grill below radiator).

I too opted out of the sea-going freighter in favor of the 10:00pm Southbound.

My Kleinn 130 is a mere 153dB. Looks like I have space for a larger set (or an additional larger set).
