Does anybody else think that the standard horns on the impreza are s**t.Even postman Pat has better horns on his crate.I have some air horns I plan to fit,to give it the performance it deserves.

Your right I don't bother to blow the thing
some one said to me that air horns would fail the car at its MOT when I had the same thought some time ago hope thats wrong but check it out it might just be true

That's why the first thing I did was change my horn to Hella Air horns.
Now I have a horn that matches the car's stature, and not a horn that should be on a Nissan Micra!!!!
a2jcy- Why would air horns fail an MOT, a lot of cars have them fitted as standard.
Muddy.

No problem with multiple air horns as long as they all sound simultaneously. Law doesn't permit "musical air horns", alternate sonding of horns or anything that could be misconstrued as an emergency vehicle's warning horns.

I couldn't even tell you what my horn sounded like!
I've only used it a couple of times and both of those I was too busy recovering from avoiding something to notice what it sounded like!

try the Hella Super Tones. They aren't an air horn but put out around 130db
I've fitted behind the grill of my car. Cost was around US $65.00 roughly 40 quid

First mod I made!
Went to pick a mate up when I first got the car and he started laughing when i blew me horn!
Hmmm
Anyone able to edit that so it doesn't sound like an extract from an xxx mag

I couldn't agree more - the horn makes the Impreza look bl**dy stupid!!
Would this work? get a second hand one from the scrap yard? off say a Jag/old Rover?? my Calibra one sounded great so maybe even off a Cavalier (should be millions of those about for £5???) would it work? I cant see why not - both are 12V and are hardly at the cutting edge of technology?
Would it invalidate your warranty?? ha ha

I fitted twin airhorns to my old Impreza!! Sounded excellent and cost £14 from Halfords. Took about 15 mins to fit too. Went from sounding like a Nissan Micra to an artic. in one squirt! Nice!

I seem to remember reading on here somewhere that a Saab horn was a straight swap that gave far improved sound?
Has anyone done anything similar? Like pslewis I would have thought most 12v horns would be a straight swap without having to go for air horns...

Ian,
Try Halfords, last time I was in there they had a twin horn kit made by Ring (spot light people). Think they were fairly cheap as well.
I fitted a similar set on my GT4 a while back, used the standard loom for the crappy disc horns, took about 15 minutes.
Cheers
