Fiamm Freeway Blasters low tone

very nice sound, loud and cheap $11.99 at Advance Auto
Make sure u get the low tone.
the stock horn is so weak, people wouldnt even hear it.
get ride of that piece of junk and dont waste your money on all those fancy horns man. I'm tellin ya 11 bucks at Advance
Incidentally the stock horn is a Fiamm high tone. It's not quite as loud as the freeway blasters, but still adding the low tone to the stock would be better than the low tone by itself.

If you have a way to lift the front end up (jackstands, etc.) then it's not that bad. I can get you some pictures from another thread about this.

I dont know if I agree with icspots. My horn is loud. install a breeze. You will have to pull down the plastic under the car, about 8 screws. My install was easier because I pulled the cheap plastic "blank offs" off my car where the fog lights would go. So I was able to reach right in apull the horn.

Is it the need to raise the front of the car up that you don't agree with? When I did mine I had my front tires at the edge of my carport with the nose sticking over the very slight incline down the driveway. It was just enough room for me to squeeze my head under the bumper and one hand up to the horn. Or I could sit facing the car with both hands working on the horn but unable to see. If you have access to ramps or jackstands then it's way easier to just jack the car up so you can see well and get both hands in there.

Since I didn't just replace the stock high tone with the FB low tone I had to do a little more jury rigging. This is what my bracket looked like with both horns in there. The horn farther towards the bottom of the picture is on the stock bracket and the second one is attached to the stock bracket using the bracket it came with. It ended up with both horns fitting in the stock space, it was just a pain in the *** to get the whole thing in there while working by touch. Then I just spliced the two hot wires together and connected them to the stock original wiring.



Also HERE's a clip of the horns. That's with the FB low and the stock high tone. This isn't my car but someone who I was helping out. The recording doesn't really do it justice, but they are loud full sounding horns.

Icspots; No I meant I dont agree you need the low and high tone. I was just trying to say the low tone is planty of sound if you want to keep it simple. High and low would kick even more ***.
