Plug and play horn replacements?

I know there was an air horn thread and other mentions, but I was hoping to find out what options there might be to replace the Smart horn directly with another more effective duel tone horn.

I'd like to just replace it without having to actually modify anything or add relays and would love to hear from anyone who has done this.

(I know there is the Smart Fanfare one, not sure if people are satisfied with that or have better results with another one.)

I am running plug and play with no added relay. When we ran the electrical test we saw no difference in reading.

I'm ordering a set of these. I have them on 2 other cars, and they're really loud and attention getting. No lag time like some airhorns. Search Youtube to hear them.

SMART - I'll look into your other posts to see what you have installed and look for sound examples.

brian r - I forgot about those, thanks, a bit pricey but worth considering (haven't ever heard them either). So the Smart has two horns that these simply replace?

Smart does offer a dual note horn upgrade kit. I have done so much reading I cannot remember where I saw it. I think it was on one of the Canidian sites.
