I don't know how difficult it was to put on I had a friennd do it...big mistake...lol. The service dept said that when the original one was cut off that is what caused the problem. They told me to disconnect the battery and let sit and it should reset itself. Of course with my luck it didn't work and had to have it towed in. There had to be something added(sorry I don't know what it is called...I'll find out later from my friend) and had to have a switch put in to turn the compressor on and off. Plus they put the original horn back on. So if there is no pressure the original horn works. I took the picture before the grill was put back on. It fit with no problems. The horns had to be turned the other way (I couldn't reach the lever to open the hood). Lucky for me the dealership did the repairs under warranty even though it was my mistake.

 

I will agree..Disconnecting the Battery any time you work on any part of the Electrical system, is a SMART move..

 

I asked two places that install horns around me... They quoted me around 800 out the door. I was like screw that I can buy the whole setup from hornblasters.com for 350... I mean seriously it can't be that complicated to install.

 

Hi All - Here's the horn swap followup. I'm embarrassed to say, I went SUPER DIRT CHEAP on the new horn. Spent a whopping $28 (amazon.com, shipping included) on aset of Wolo 403 Airmax Chrome horns. Even though they are plastic (stop laughing) I have to tell you, it was a fanstastically easy install and inexpensive solution to replacing the stock horn. I used the link to the "How to get the grill out" archive post (thanks littlehummerboy!) to easily remove the grill, de-installed the stock horn by removing one bolt, cut the original wiring harness away, and attached the two bare wires to the two horn compressor terminals.Did not unhookthe battery. The toughest part of the whole install was finding a place to mount the compressor and the two horns and still get the grill to fit back in with no interference. Minimal drilling required. Let my trial and error be your knowledge gain on that one. Twenty eight bucks, 2 hours of time (due to learning curve) and it's done. Only thing that shows through the grill is the chrome compressor (see attached photos). As long as you mount them pointing down (to avoid water collection) and keep them away from engine and radiator heat, the plastic horns should be fine. Thanks for all your input. Photos attached.

 

So how do they sound?

If you scroll down under "MODEL 403 AIRMAX CHROME" and click on "Hear a sample of the Airmax Chrome" there's actually a sound byte that is exact. It's a high pitched, dual tone blast. I like it. Some may not. Lots of entertainment value for less than $30.

 

How loud are they lol?

 

About 30 bucks loud. They're not going to be as blaring as a true $300-$600 airhorn setup, but you can take a chance for $30. They're rated at 118db. I added install photos to my original followup message as well.

 

For $30, seems like an OK deal to replace the little horn they come with. Might give it a try myself!
