I do like the new horn but I've wondered how well it will hold up to the stress of the engine vibration. Has there been any issues with mounting hardware failure?

I'm leaning towards the CD horn as well.
It seems to be the easiest installation wise and is still pretty loud.
Here is another contender from kuryakyn and it's about $60 cheaper.

Don't press the button while in your garage. Wow that would be ear damage!

I ended up getting the CD horn.
It looks good and puts out enough to get noticed and it's easy to install. The 3 year warranty is a plus.
Regardless the thread is very interesting and I enjoyed reading all of your posts.
Thanks.

^^^Agreed. I want it to be louder, but not obnoxious and prefer it to be a bit more unobtrusive than the air horn format.

I think I want air horns for my Tahoe though!
