Question Looking for a louder horn for my 4GS...PIAA

So I need to put a louder horn and want to know what is a better upgrade to go with and sounds nicer than the stock 13 gs350 horn. I am not doing train horns just a single or dual horn set up looking to add behind front grill.

Hella horns are usually a good choice. I have an Italian Air Horn from Griots on one of my cars (not the GS) and it is much louder than stock.

I put the Cadillac four note horns in my LS. Full robust sound for sure!

Hella Horns are not much louder then the stock. Watch any you tube video. I got a pair of the super tones, replaced the stock ones in my 3IS (2015 IS250). I measured the stock ones to be about 95dB. They are pretty weak when on the highway and some truck is trying to run you over. The hella supertones, i could not get to measure over 97db. They dont sound that bad, but they are not any louder, don't waste your time.

Anyone have any other suggestions?
