why is this in performance? :chuckle

maybe if you mount it on the rear bumper it adds 5hp?

Nothing like a big, loud horn! Especially on a small car.

Normal horns are just plug and play, so no real install guide is needed, you just unplug your old one, and pop the new one on.

these air horns, I am guessing that large thing in the middle is a compressor of some sort, so installation would be abit different, but the products usually come with horn specific installation instructions, and then you can get creative with mounting it.

lol
i will install it inside the cold air intake.

do i need to remove anything to get to the horn?
where is the current horn even installed??

i think this horn would be a good addition to my security system if i could get a nice loud one.

current horn is driver-side front bumper. behind and slightly above the fog light.

if you are going to install a cold air intake, that will free up alot of space in there, as you will have to remove the resonator box.

I know exactly where I would hook up these horns if I were installing them (assuming they are as big as I think they are)

Just cut the loop on your compustar siren Icarus, that will make your alarm deafen people.

yeh itz actually better if you do that cause of the location of the compressor .. just saves u the trouble of taking off the bumper twice

I think you might want to check out Princess Auto. Ken York bought it there. I heard the frikin' thing. It puts the Air horns for trucks to shame. LOL!
