Installed New Horns on IX MR
Installed New Horns on IX MR
I hope I posted this in the correct forum.
Well, here's my first official mod, and it's non-performance related. Living in Southern California with some of the worst drivers around, I think it was pretty necessary.
After almost getting creamed (once again) by a BMW driver on his cell phone, I decided to upgrade the stock horns to the Hella Twin Supertone Horn. Installation wasn't too bad. It just took forever to take off the front bumper.

Here's the stock Low Tone Horn:

Here's the stock High Tone Horn:

In Comparison:

Low Lone Installed:

High Tone Installed:

All put back together:

I would record the sound, but my digital camera seems to have a built-in limiter, so the recording of the new horns actually sounds QUIETER than the stock ones. The Hella horns are noticably louder, but not crap-in-your-pants loud. I think it might have something to do with the placement of the horns. The Hella Twin Supertone Horn are very directional, so I think it will a lot louder if I fabricated a new bracket for the middle horn so that it's not behind the intercooler.

I got it from SafeDrives.com, but I think you might be able to find a tad cheaper elsewhere.
