Air Horns
Has anyone installed air horns in an 07 sedan? If so, where did you locate them in the engine bay and where is the factory horn located? Also, what length of horns has anyone installed? If anyone else is interested in this, here are two sites that sell a variety of them.
Inexpensive, lower end: http://www.wolo-mfg.com/ Expensive, higher end: www.hornblasters.com BTW, check out some of the videos on hornblasters. Pretty funny stuff.

You need the bumper off to get access to the horn but there isn't much room if you are thinking of anything too thick. My horns just clear the grill area.

There's a good bit of space behind the liftback nose. I don't know about the sedan.
I'm putting these in: http://www.autosupermart.com/store/shop/piaa85112.html |

I ordered them already - they shipped the other day and I hope to have them today. I'm planning on installing them this weekend along with my head unit.
But yes, we should get together sometime - perhaps do a dual cruise control install. |

On the liftback - yes.
It comes off pretty easily - hasher did a pretty good how-to that showed how to get the bumper off: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1525 |

Yes it's easy.. just a pain in the @$$ to do it. :)
It's hard to show it but here's my horns.. there's not a lot of clearance (maybe a finger thick) between the bellow part of the horn and the grill. |

stock horn:
connector: directions: There is already a hole here (right side horn), I just had to trim the plastic to get to it: (I took the right headlight off to get at an existing ground to chasis bolt and ran the ground wire with the existing harness.) finished: Sounds great! Much louder than the stock *meep* and a nice two tone note. PIAA also makes a 400 and 500 Hz set. I chose the higher pair because I think the lower note would confuse other drivers. They'd be looking for a bigger car or truck. Last edited by Violin; 09-03-2006 at 02:07 PM. |

Nice.. is the PIAA sports horn have more bass? I am thinking to replace the stock one.. since it sounds so thin.

Much more noticeable sound.
I've done this with every car I've had since an 18 wheeler changed lanes into my Miata at 75 mph and didn't hear my little horn until he nearly ran me over. |
