DIY horn replacement for Touring?
I'd like to replace the existing horn with something a bit louder and more "fun" ... does anyone have suggestions/kits/links that a non-mechanic like me could use to replace the standard horn? Don't really want to add in a compressor, but will if absolutely necessary.
Does replacing the horn void any warranty? Thanks! Fred |
Yeah, the horn is a bit wimpy. So far, my only complaint. Where did they get that? Luckily I live out in the country, don't need to use it too often.

Here's the horn you want:
http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/Grio...77573?$detail$ Hella Horns Loud As Can Be! Tired of those wimpy, factory installed horns? You'll get some respect with these. I only honk my horn when it's absolutely necessary. For those times I do honk my horn, I want to be noticed. And just in case you haven't noticed, stereo systems are getting louder and interiors are getting quieter, which means you need to be heard! Plastic? No way! Durable, metal casing for years of survival. Easy installation. If you have horns presently, just swap the horns and use the existing wiring. If you want to add them to your present horns, a relay and directions are included. Loud as can be! 118 dB |
Hi,
You can also use Fiamm's. Available at NAPA, Riderwearhouse, about $15.00 ea, get two, a hi and a low tone. You might need to use a relay due to the extra power they will draw over the stock unit. Jim |

Nova, what if there is only one horn in the car? Can I wire the high and low note horns in Series or in Parallel? |
You should be able to do that.

In parallel or in series?
|
It shouldn't matter. Either would work. Personally, I'd do it in parallel.

Hey...that's how my ET got it's name. Meep! Meep!
I didn't test out the horn until I got it home and could not stop laughing. Let us know how the replacement works out. |
