Thank you so much! I already purchased the horns, but I was a bit hesitant about installing them without the diy (DAMN YOU HACKERS!!!!). Sounds nice, can't wait to surprise people.

Makes me wanna get some license plates that somehow communicate: "I ate a hummer" lol

Wow, your $20 mod make it sounds like a full size car.

I sort of happy with the generic sound. It is cute!

Staypuft, did you have to remove your front bumper to do the install?
How long did the job take you? TIA for your response. :smile:

remove the upper part of the bumper then just unplug the old horn and bolt up the new one, just use a jumper wire off the positive to the other

Finally got the Fiamm horns installed today.
It's a great improvement over the stock horns. :thumbsup:
I managed to turn heads while testing the horn at an intersection. :biggrin:
