Air Horns

[SmellyTofu]

Yes it's easy.. just a pain in the @$$ to do it. :)

It's hard to show it but here's my horns.. there's not a lot of clearance (maybe a finger thick) between the bellow part of the horn and the grill.

Interesting. Judging by the grill, both you and Violin have liftbacks, correct? I took a closer look at the area around my factory horn and it looks like there's at least 6 inches between the grill and radiator where the factory horn is mounted. I think there should be plenty of room for the larger air horns I want. I'll order them today. Thanks again guys!

Well, I moved my airhorns to the front, just behind the grill. Much better sound, but I was unhappy with the direct drive compressor that came with it so I ordered their high output direct drive compressor which is double that of the stock model. WHOAAA!!!! Huge difference! It definitely gets attention now!

A funny sidenote! My wife and I went camping this past weekend. Red Thunder's first camping trip! We had to make a drive into town to get more firewood and a motorhome in front of us pulled off onto a turnout. As we went by, I gave him two short toots of the OLD air horns to say thank you. As we were driving away, we heard this HUGE air horn sound from the motorhome! We were both cracking up! It was big rig loud, like with a compressor and a tank! Similar to what's heard on www.hornblasters.com. I guess he showed us! LOL!

I'm not too great at searching the web, but couldn't findI'm assuming these horns aren't available locally (DC Metro area), or are they?

Does anyone else use these Toyota horns? Does the kit come with wiring and connectors to splice the 2 horns?

Was referring to these Toyota horns? Anyone have experience with them?

I just got the horns that SmellyTofu posted I think (his pics look the same as mine). It's called a "Premium Horn" (Genuine Toyota Part Number 08522-42010). I ordered mine through JDMPit on E-bay (overseas) I'm in the USA by the way.

It DOES NOT come with wiring and connectors to splice the 2 horns. It only comes with the two horns (one 400Hz horn, and one 500Hz horn), and a set of instructions that are only in Japanese, and two other Asian languages that I don't have a clue what they are. So the instructions are worthless if you are not fluent in Asian languages. The pictures help a little, but without being able to read the actual instructions in English I find them worthless.

If anyone has these horns and installed them I would also love to hear how you did it. Would like to do it myself, but I know the front bumper has to come off and it's just too cold right now for me to be workin' on my car outside since I don't have a garage. I might just break down and take them to my local performance shop to get them installed.
