XF Horn Upgrade

Has anyone upgraded the horn in the XF? I can't understand how Jaguar could design such a sexy, powerful car and put a horn in it that sounds like it came off a scooter.

I was at RaceTrx the other day and a guy pulled in in an Escalade truck with a train horn. I've heard of truck horns but never a train horn....ridiculous...
Sure the one you picked isn't overkill

I agree, it is a pretty lame horn! Believe it or not there are two of them in there, I saw them when I had the front bumper cover off my car.

It's not a horn it's a hooter. Very refined and distinguished sounding. The British do not use their horn except to politely alert fellow motorists to a real danger or to try to move sheep off the roadway.
