Silvers a good shout actually! Didn't cross my mind and it'll fit In nicely.

No airflow issues as yet, I did think they might but I imagine they just redirect the air rather than block it completely. The OEM ones I removed were covering the rad also, so really don't think it'll be an issue, not like I'm running crazy power or anything lol

I did think about black, I do want people to notice though, already clocked a few people looking in wondering what they are lol.

Maybe I'll get bored and the novelty will wear off

Instead of using the noddy horn, I overtake and proceed to pop and bang.

The standard horn is pathetic, I very rarely use it out of embarassment! I would need to hear these horns before deciding to swap.
In my youth (a long time ago!) I had Maserati air horns on my Cortina GT (told you my youth was a long time ago!) and later, on a Capri GT They were loud and the air compressor took a fair bit of current!

Heard good things about the Hella's, I fitted these to my Bugeye and again to my current Scoob, sound MUCH better than the Fisher Price original, easy to fit, sound nice, and most of all, no one laughs when they are used!

How many green queens would something with a bit more 'oomph' cost one?

Do a search on You-Tube, there are some examples of serious (stupid?) car horns!
