how involved is the install? does it just plug and play? maybe I should pick up that hayes manual

I dunno why but as of recent I've doing a lot of honking.. but the oem horn just doesnt suffice. I need something nice and intimidating.. hehe

I gotta figure out if the current honda horn is 12+, or ground when you turn the horn on.

After that I can set up the relay.

I will keep you posted, along with some pics.

thanks james!
btw, Gen 5 have 2 prong ground/live to the horn, gen 6 only have live, and grounded via the screw that holds the horn to the subframe.

use the stock power, you will have to groud it obviously

ground it with those one directional washers ( teeth washers i think its called ) so it doesnt come loose while driving over bumbs and such

i bolted mine to my bumber rebar, no need for drilling, the hole size was exact for the bolts that came with the horn.

this whole procedure was for my horn, i dont know if its the same style for yours.

sam, did that "popping out the outter metal piece thingy" fix your horn?

Thanks eman, I am stumped now and Gave up because I cant see a good spot to mount them.

So your saying mount the horns where the stock horn goes in front of the bumper? I need to mount the compressor too, so I have 3 things to mount.

Isn't having an air horn illegal? If it is, I guess you would have to have two sets of horns.
