    Where the F are the horns.

    Yeah I searched, the only thread asking this same question was about useless.

    Going to be wiring up a hella air horn setup here in a few, and just from initial inspection I don't see them anywhere. Bentley is useless as well. Before I just start randomly pulling front end parts off of this heap, thought I'd ask you guys!

    Thanks in advance, for helping out a retard.

          yeah.

          Remove the 'skidplate' first, and you should see a horn in the area under each headlight (about). They are each mounted with one, 13mm bolt IIRC.

              Dope, thanks guys.

              Probably going to do it the hard way and not going to jack up the car, just doing that is a pain in the ass itself. ;)

                It would be pretty funny to install 3 or 4 extra pairs down there to scare the living daylights out of some poor unsuspecting idiot driver with all of the extra volume.

                  Or a PA speaker for a CB Radio and burst with random comments as you drive by.

                  Been there, done that. Need a new PA speaker now.

                    Having more horns wouldn't be any louder, there would just be more sound. They all would output at the same decibel level.

                    If you want loud, hook up a locomotive horn running on air. 400+db BABY!!!

                      Yeah.. I found a video on youtube where people were driving around town with the train horn scaring the crap out of pedestrians on the street.

                          Only $300? Thats not that expensive in relative terms. I am sure that the average locomotive costs roughly $2 million or so.
