..yep another slightly misleading thread title.
So, anyway, the OEM Prelude horn.. meep meep - WTF?
Mean looking cars with a little girl's pushbike handlebar bell for a horn.
Anyone swapped theirs for something a bit more, beefy? I liked the OEM twin air-horns from my old Calibra, does anyone know if they will fit as an easy swap? Or will I have to wire in relay's etc?
Thoughts?

seeing as the lude will already have a relay I would just try them out

I've got a set of PIAA "Sport" horns. Still to this day haven't heard what they sound like though
Still has to be an improvement over OEM

You've never pressed your horn button?
Quick question Nafe - is that brush under yor radiator to sweep the road in front of you as you drive? Buddist style..

I fitted a set of rover horns, pretty much a straight swap and over 300% more manly.
Cheap too:

The plugs are slightly different, but if you take out the white plastic inserts in the lude connectors, you can push them onto the Rover horns without much fuss

I've had a few imported Japanese cars now and they all have shockingly lame horns... I just can't figure out why. Is it illegal to blare your horn at someone over there?? Even when you sound your horn with malice it always comes across as polite

use of the horn in japan is seen as aggressive and impolite
