I wanted to do this with my last car, but never got around to do so. Just wondering if anyone has upgraded to a louder / deeper horn. Maybe air horns?

I know the idea has been talked about, but I cant recall if any one has done it before or not.

Nope, hasn't been discussed. I'm pretty good with the search function now

:? Thats a little odd. Could have been some xA or tC ppl talking about it then.

Edit: Yeah its out side of the xB area.

I have a set of Hella horns waiting for me to get off my ___ and install them. I have to remove the front facia to do it, and I might need a couple of connectors and some wire, but other than that, it should be easy. I'll return and report.

HOW I INSTALLED MY HELLA HORN SET:

- Open hood
- Disconnect battery before you forget
- Remove the top grill by prying up the three push fasteners with a screwdriver
- With a 10MM socket, remove the front facia by removing the following fasteners:
A) The ones in each front wheel opening
B) The ones at the very outside corners of the bottom lip
C) The five underneath that attach to the frame and the splash pan
D) The two bolts at the top
E) The single push fastener in the top middle
- Pull off the facia with an extra tug on each side where a tab snaps into the headlight assembly

There are two horns. One is near the top center of the radiator and the other is off to the driver's side and a little lower. There is a single positive wire to each.

- Unplug the wires
- Unbolt the horns with a 13MM socket
- Keep the black plastic mounting piece from the side horn to use with the new horn

You'll need to make a Y shaped wire like this:
- One piece long enough to easily reach from one horn to the other
- One piece long enough to easily reach from one of the horns to its mounting bolt
- Two flat female connectors
- One washer-shaped connector with a hole big enough for the horn mounting bolt
- Put one of the female connectors on an end of the long wire
- Put the washer connector on an end of the short wire
- Join the two wires with the other female connector
Then:
- Mount the new horns with the washer connector on one of the bolts -- it doesn't matter which as long as you get a good ground.
- Plug your handmade wires onto the horns
- Plug the factory wires onto the horns
- Reconnect the battery and test the horn
- Reinstall the facia and grill
