Tutorial: Replacing the factory horn

[rirover]

what about one of those ol Klaxon horns....aoooga...would they fit...

Does that horn have a lag between button press and sound? Just wondering about the built-in compressor spin-up time. 10 amps - huh, do the lights dim?

Where can we listen to hear your new italian horn? I got the smart two tone upgrade and it is different but I want something more substantial. Thanks, Regina

I was wondering about that too - I want a loud, attention grabbing horn, but a delay would not be good.

Did you have to wire in the relay?

I have already bought one of these Stebil (forgot how it's spelled) air horns to install on my smart, I bench tested it and it has almost zero delay, it should be no problem.

No additional relay was needed but one does come in the kit. As for lag, there is none... its immediate when I press the horn!

Could you post a sound file of what it sounds like?
