Depending on the price of breaking your bank I spent 500$ on a train horn package. Must say there not whimppy and they let people know when your pissed at them.

Replacement Horn

Get one of these: Stebel Nautilus. It's under $40, fits great behind the SD grill, and is really LOUD. I think the Wolo Bad Boy is the same horn with a fancy sticker.

There is a button on the linked web page to play a sample. It's not a real deep big-rig sound. More like a louder version of the stock horn. Loud enough to make the idiots pee in their pants when I'm hauling a loaded trailer and they cut me off.

It mounts with one bolt. It's not a direct replacement for the stock horn, but it isn't hard to figure out a good mounting spot.
