Answers:
I would definitely go for it, I have a Suzuki and the horn is a tad bit pathetic, you can by a new horn for around £15, they are direct replacement for you current horn so there is no re-wiring necessary. Its an incredibly easy modification to make and the sound makes such an improvement. Try EBay or www.directcarparts.co.uk
The horn will not effect your insurance premium at all, it doesn't increase the performance of your car and does not increase the desirability of the car at all (hence more attractive to thieves).

I'll bite.
Try installing a double air horn.
Don't be so snooty.
Yes, you can change the horn. Leave the original where it is. Go to a junk yard and get one off of a pickup. Two wires. Very simple. There is no red tape, as you will have the original on the car. You can unplug the wires and plug them onto the new one, or leave them plugged in and just tap onto them from the new horn. Doing this would have both horns operational. It's all up to you. Good luck.
Your best bet is to listen to the horns of other cars and decide which one sounds the best to you, Then head off to your local breakers yard and get a horn from the same type car and get it fitted. Might i suggest a ford fiesta one, nice and loud.
All car horns work the same and only have two wires on them therefore fitting is easy, it would not be considered as a modification and no need to tell the insurance company
You could also buy a new horn in a car accessories shop.
it is sure that the modification of your car is lossing the insurance.
I suggest you to modify your car after take a consulting from car selling service cener.
The last part of your question invites stupid responses.
(just for future refference)
If I were to change horns on my car, I would go to a junk yard and find on older 80's truck and remove the horn from it.
There is usualy only one bolt holding it on, and they're usualy mounted next to the radiator. one side or the other.
Some use one wire. (power) and bolt to the frame for ground.
Others use two wires, one for power, and one for ground.
These wire usualy just plug in to the horn.
Remove yours first so that you can somewhat match it up.
Larger horns use more power, you may need to change to a higher amp ratting fuse though.
Good luck and happy hunting.
And by the way, use your horn as an attention getter, not a "weapon" as some others do.
Yo u can change the horn quiet easily when you locate it, you need to see how many connections it has and then sinply go to a accessories shop and buy one, you dont need to inform anybody at all as it is not a modification which affects insurance or anything like that, simply remove the old one and fit the new or if you fancy it you could go to a scarp yard or even at the auto accessories shop ask for a horn thats fits say like a ford granada or something like that as they sound "beefy" the shop will have an application list and be able to tell you what horn it is you can then check the connections, hope that helps
I drive 40000 miles a year and the only time I use my horn is to warn dogs and birds who are in the road, I would think I had failed as a good driver if I used it on other drivers, its just confrontational.
Drive with a little grace and style, you dont need a loud horn
