I have been contemplating using a Denali Soundbomb. Compact as the Stebel Nautilus Compact, but should be sturdier.

I did mine so it will also look good just sent them off to powder coat to match everything else it makes the offset go away in the front I put them so it doesn't block any air flow to the rad

The ST horn is so good I bought one off a wrecked ST to replace the meep-meep horn on my other car. That damn funny harness it comes with is the only thing that's kept me from installing it.

That was my same thought but you can purchase it from Motorcraft or a generic one from a local auto store. I'm still looking for a Fiesta ST (or 2014+ Fiesta base model) horn. I've found a Focus ST which has a different part number. I've seen youtube videos for both and it's hard to make out a sound difference because of different environments and recording devices. I'm looking to replace the junky air-horns on my wife's Miata installed by the previous owner.

Connector Part #: Motorcraft WPT-1051

I always put a set of quad-tone Cadillac horns on my cars. Sounds like a train. I run two relays for all four horns.

They are getting harder to find in wrecking yards. Some Buick Park Avenues and Olds 98s had them in the 80s as well.

Awesome find! Thanks! Coincidentally this is to replace the horn on my Miata as well. Those euro-sounding air horns are a little too nancy for me...like I should be wearing driving gloves and a scarf lol. I'm not down with that [unsurelaugh]

EDIT: ordered this much cheaper off ebay. Received and confirmed - it is the correct connector.

Man you should hear the Mazdaspeed 3 horn. That blows in comparison. I wonder if US and Euro fists have the same horn. I actually like my horn.
Brooo , I had a 2010 speed3 damn horn sounded like you stepped on a Chihuahua's paw. I would be embarrassed to use it haha It was ridiculous. The FiST horn seems the same as the one in my tundra. Which is good lol

I am happy the the for for the same reason as you two, just came from a '10 Mazdaspeed 3 and it was really sad, especially if it was wet... it would squeak.

I don't know any of the details but I remember my Fiesta S having a very loud horn. Nothing fancy or gimmicky, just very loud. So much so that I hated accidently hitting the lock button twice. It was loud enough that anyone in the vicinity would noticeably jump whenever it went off.

I was happy that the ST was much more reasonable but for those of you who prefer more punch, maybe the base Fiesta S (2014) horn will fit the bill...assuming that the horn on my previous Fiesta wasn't a fluke.

The main down side is that you couldn't just beep at someone. It was so sensitive that just tapping it would cause it to blast. Always gave wrong impressions when I just wanted to give someone a headsup. Good news was that on the road, people would usually just look around thinking it was another car...apparently assuming it couldn't have come from my tiny fiesta, lol.

In retrospect I should have just done it when I put in my DHM Race intercooler since I had to take all of that crap off. I even looked at it an wondered if I should go to the
parts store by my house and decided no since I was doing a full stage 3 all at once.

Yupp!!

just wondering...did you install with a relay or did you use the method in the you tube vid earlier in this thread... honestly I don't even use my horn, and could care less what it sounds like, but I super dig the way it looks, I have a magnetic fist and the red would set the front of the car off
