Replacing Sante Fe Wimpy Horn
 
I have a 2007 Santa Fe. I think the horn *when pressing the steering wheel" sounds wimpy. I know it's louder outside than inside the vehicle but still...

Has anyone found a good replacement horn (i guess it is two horns) for the Santa Fe. Something that is actually louder ?

I'm looking ideally for something that would bolt into the same spot as the OEM horn(s) and would use the stock wiring harness and not need to be modified to fit. Any suggestions ???

If you are looking for a bolt on set of horns that fit with zero modifications than the horns from an XG300/350 are what you want. However, it's not that much of an improvement. I did this swap with my Tiburon and Tucson and the horns are slightly louder and a slighter lower tone but it's not a huge improvement. Go here for horns:

If you want a better set of horns, go with these Hella horns. They are easily the best horns (quality, tone and volume) on the market in my opinion:

Hella Horns
 
Thanks for the suggestion of the Hella Horns. Do you know if they can be attached to the vehicle using the existing holes in the inside frame?

Do the wires basically have to be stripped and re connected (can I use the original wire clips)?

Yes, they can be bolted on the exact same way as the factory horns. No, you won't be able to reuse the facory connectors. After removing the facory horn you will have to cut the factory connector off the wiring and wire it directly to the new horns. It's not a big deal.
