hella horns should do the trick theres the dual round ones with the metal housings.

otherwise a big brushguard might do the trick, a few big bends and a little rust would make it pretty convincing.

Any of you guys/gals replace your horn with something that sounds like an air horn? Recommendations?

Try a late fifties or early sixties Cadillac horn. Or take a look at J.C. Whitney's selection of air horns. They have one that goes 130db.

I think that the horn is darn loud it just does not sound like it on the road at 60 m.p.h. just glad it does not sound like a horn on a honda there horns are more like a meow!

2005 Lariat's horn is very loud, I installed a Hadley air horn set on the wife's Excursion, need it when we pull the 30' Travel trailer. We were passing through Texas, people in the merge lane would just pull into me in the middle lane without looking, Grrrrr, made a mental note to get the air horns, shouldn't have that problem any more.

Good idea Frito, or maybe a full automatic paintball gun that fires through your grill!

Ah Frito, the good old Ma Duce. Only problem I see here is visibility. Mounting that on the hood may be tricky.
