Horn upgrade without any splicing??
Does anyone know of a horn upgrade that allows you to do no splicing and just use the stock plug and just bolt it up? Don't mind doing the splicing but if I don't have to there's no point. I've check PIAA and Hella and both require cutting the stock plug and running a seperate ground and seperate hot wire. PIAA seems to be a bit easier but doesn't come with relays. Since the horn already is stock setup with relays, I would assume that's ok. Here's the PIAA ones:

tap... is a way to splice into a wire without needing to cut anything..
it connects quickly.. and that's the point.
and i have the mitsuba arena II's if you're curious.

I got the Hella Twin Supertone Horn. When I installed it, it was plug-n-play. No splicing. Just unbolt old wimpy horn, bolt up loud obnoxious Hella horn and you're all set! It's LOUD and kind of has a 'euro' horn-type sound. Great mod for $60!

Sweet, where'd you get them from? What hz rating and decibil rating are they?

^^Mine didn't come with relays.
I just hooked up the ground, unbolted the old, bolted up the new and that was it. Took all of about 10 mins to install. (I did take out the horn fuse, just in case. I was too lazy to disconnect my battery and having to 'reset' everything.
) Hardest part was getting the screws loose on the horns to connect the ground. I don't have pics but I did paint the grills black. I didn't care too much for the red. Maybe I'll take a pic in a bit...

Hey, I got my horns in last night and painted the grilles on them black to blend in. Mine came with a relay. Did you have to make a ground for your 2 horns? Did you use a relay or did you just plug and go? And, do you notice your lights dim when you use it? I'll run them from the battery if that's the case.
Sorry for all the questions.
Congrats!
Yeah, I painted mine black also. I found a link that might help you out with some of the answers you're looking for...
How to: Replace Stock Horn(tC)
I didn't make a ground for it. I just used the metal bracket that holds the horns as a ground. (It's in the link.) And again I didn't use the relays. Just swapped out the old for the new. My lights do not dim. Or if they do, it's not noticable.
