Question


Has anyone ever done this?. As im sure you will agree the horn on imprezas is a little pathetic to say the least

Soooooo, i bought some twin air horns yesterday. What i need to know now is, where the hell to put them.

Pictures of other peoples installs would be very helpfull

Thanks

I used the Hella electromagnet ones from Halfrauds. They just bolt to the existing mount and use the same connectors! 10 minutes work to change.

Are they any good mark?

I got the twin air horns with the compressor thingy. If they are going to be a pain in the butt to install i might swap them for the electromagnet type... sounds much simpler

Got my twin air horns mounted onto a piece of 25mm alloy angle, about 150mm long, which is held on by the front battery clamp bolt.
Not loads of space, but they do fit, and are 500% better than the OE ones.

What I REALLY wanted was one of those 2 foot long chrome ones off the top of a truck:
No space for it though:

CEL, yes they're alright as far as horns go! There is a choice of either high or low pitch single horns and a dual tone item.

LOL Alcazar

Hmmm, so im going to have to make a mounting bracket too?

It's looking like i might have to take the easy option.

*starts to have a good think about which route to take*

I mounted my twin horns and the compressor behind the front grill.I used the o.e. wiring as it is fused and relayed.
(One point though , if i have a front end smash I am liable to damage the radiator)
