most anything is better than the stock horn....where'd you get it? easy installation? etc,?

staypuft · 10-29-2008, 02:40 AM

amazon, easy install waaay better than stock, kinda sounds like mad dogs stebel just spliced the connector since it is twin horns

Pitt Yaris · 10-29-2008, 03:01 AM

im gonna look into that sometime, don't use my horn too much so not asap. main things i need (want) asap are wheels, tint, and bodykit.

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!

Benggolf2 · 10-29-2008, 10:13 PM

Good mod! Fiamm horns are awesome. Been using them since the 1970s.

Will order 1 tonight!

staypuft · 10-30-2008, 12:31 AM

i had them in my old corolla, people get shocked when you honk the horn seeing that they wouldnt expect it on a small car

Benggolf2 · 11-20-2008, 03:55 PM

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

staypuft · 11-20-2008, 04:26 PM

yay, the search button works, etigmagos service manual is awesome lol

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

Thanks Staypuft.

Finally got the Fiamm horns installed today.
It's a great improvement over the stock horns.

I managed to turn heads while testing the horn at an intersection.
