Question Louder better horn for SV650S (K6)?

I've had my K6 for 5 years and finally have had it with the stock horn - damn thing sounds like a goat bleating....any suggestions for a good horn that sounds like a car and can still easily fit in the pointy's tight space?

I fitted a STEBEL Magnum to my Street Triple & it was less than £20 & prob half the size of Nautilus.
Deep tone wakes cagers who expect a 40 tonne truck when they hear it. BARP!

Nautilus on mine under the front left fairing, the compressor was seperated and mounted under the rear right plastics with a length of clear 8mm hose connecting the 2 giving it a slight delay, the standard horn was left in place so it also had a 2 tone effect...

The Daytona sounds like, well, the horn on my CG125 is more attention getting and I gave away a pair of snail horns off my old car... I fail...

That's the one I put on, million times better than the standard peep.

I'd just be happy if I didn't hit the starter button instead of the horn

My Stebl died as they seem to do so I replaced it with a pair of Hella Supertone horns. Effective and easy to mount.
