Default 991 horn replacement

Has anyone replaced the stock horn on their 991? I have 2012.5 991 Carerra S and hate the sound of the horn. Looking for ideas and suggestions to replace the stock horn(s), I used to have an '85 911 and I loved the high pitched trumpet sound the horns made. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

It's possible one of your horns is out. We have 2 horns. One a low frequency, and one a higher note. One of mine is out, and will be replaced under warranty. Unfortunately, a common issue going back to my 997/987 days.

Thanks @LexVan . This is exactly what I was looking for. I believe my low horn needs replacement.

I agree. I had three 997 cars and horns replaced on all three.

you may need a different plug or adaptor as they changed the wiring connector on the horn
