Last weekend I installed "Big Blast Horns" part #44798 from International Autosport (800-726-1199) in my Stook. I have installed air horns in a half dozen or so of my cars (hella and other brands) and the "Big Blast" are def the best. The horns are metal, not plastic, chrome plated, made in Italy and LOUD. They are large (13" and 15" long) but fit easily in a stook, I mounted them horizontally on right side of receiver drier. Just fabricated a bracket from a flat piece of metal and bolted bracket to horns and to the metal bulkhead on right side that has 2 large and 1 small holes in it. Compressor was mounted just below receiver drier. They cost $69.50 but are well worth it. I highly recommend them and was able to install w/o removing the bumper.

andrewewing: Great minds must think alike, or maybe its the vintage. I did something similar, but my italian horns are not chrome. To hold my bracket, I used a hose clamp. dgl1

I've been thinking about putting in some air horns myself... Any comparison between these Italian horns and the sound of a Ferrari horn? I'd really like that Ferrari sound... Just haven't looked into purchasing actual Ferrari horns...

Thanks,

Update:
Ferrari of Washington (www.ferrariofwashington.com) got back to me... about $140 for the horns and air pump... but massive backorder (30-60 days).

Turns out Ferrari decided to put basic AC Delco horns on the 360 Modenas... Typical Ford-type horn. The parts guy I talked to thought the backorder was due to new 360 owners replacing their "crappy" horns with the more traditional Ferrari air horns...

I'll let you know how it goes when I do it up.
