Yes!!

Upgraded mine on my MY00 to PIAA sports horns:

A straight swap - so easy even I could do it!!

There are a lot louder horns, but these are adequate, cheap and very easy to just swap over using existing wiring

What weight saving are those over the originals?

Actually, I've been seriously thinking about changing mine because they look tatty behind my grill.. (my car vain? never )

Did anyone ever solve the PS cooling pipe issue?

I'm guessing that US imprezas are the same as ours with that, so someone must have figured a fix?

If I could think of anywhere inside the engin bay that these could fit, I would already own them:

Train Horn Quad Air Horns -Hammer 4 w/GMAX BLEMISH on eBay Other Car Accessories, Car Accessories, Cars, Parts Vehicles

There is a mpeg on there. not all that far off the proper train horns! My horn is used almost daily so I really want to get a louder one but the hella one sounds far too fluffy tbh.
