put in a new horn

[drumsbeloud]

well, i i finally got around to getting rid of the damn stock horn. i went to a local wrecker and got an old one for a couple bucks and did the switch. i'm still not completely satisfied with the sound, but it's waaay better than the old one. i may have to look around and find a better sounding one...we'll see.

Get a Fiam air horn

hella dual trumpet air-horn they move out the way

 

[drumsbeloud]

yep..i think a dual horn is the way to go...

hey congrats. i took your advice and moved mine out of my grill. looks much better but sounds a little muffled... lol oh well. post pics! - chris

 

[drumsbeloud]

nice work L8R. i'm sure that cleans up the look quite a bit. i haven't taken any pics of it...it's kinda pointless...it's just a different shaped horn...it's not very exciting. plus i'll probably just get more s*** for having a dirty engine bay!

I put new horns in my car last week. One is a high and the other is a low tone. They sound much better than the stock buzz the factory horn made. I will get some pics up tomorrow.....spent $21 at auto-zone and about 30 mins of time installing them.

/\ So both turn on simulateously while pressing the horn? how does that work?

since my car came with an alarm and its basicly the horn its connected too. How would I change the horn

Don't mean on stealing your post Drums

I think I'm going to try and find some probe horns. The ones on my 93 sounded like normal ol car horns, not the "squeezing a fart out of a bumblebees butt" sounding horns on the P5!

hahaha, you guys think the p5's horn is bad, try a 94 civic hatch. Thats is a messed up horn. My friend just put 2 150 dB air horns in his sonoma. One in the normal horns place, and one peeking out next to his trailer hitch. He says its for honking at tailgaters, but I think he uses a lot more to scare anyone standing around the back of his truck. But that s*** is LOUD!!

Yes they both go on at the same time. I just took off the factory horn and mounted one where that was, and the other on the other side of the hood prop. They sound really nice and 400% louder than the stock horn.

I used the power line going to the factory horn, and connected that to the second horn, too. Both horns are grounded to the place I mounted them, just like the factory horn. Sorry I did not get pics up today. Will get them up tomorrow.

which is a good horn to get? are they available online?

 

[drumsbeloud]

if there's a local auto wrecker near you, just go there and you can get one super cheap. just make sure they're intact and get the guy to test it for you.

 

[justcharlie]

How would I know which horn would sound loud enough without testing them? I want something loud as hell that no one can ignore. I was thinking that I could only find something like this as an aftermarket product. Thanks for the help.

 

[drumsbeloud]

a lot of people like the Fiam horns...i'm sure they're plenty loud (although i've never heard one...as far as i know). someone mentioned the dual horns too...get one off of a pickup truck (most use dual horns) and that'll be plenty loud enough.

I had a set of air horns on my other car. Sucks because I failed inspection with them on.:wtf:

 

[justcharlie]

why?
