View Full Version : The most embarrassing horn EBInterceptor 04-10-2004, 12:44 AM I have rarely used my horn, but I did today to get someone to move on a green light and I really wish I wouldn't have. It's so weak sounding it sounds like an import. Is it easy to replace the whistle? I just want a basic swap to sound at least like the 1st gens. It's like night and day between the two. Added: Could I just yank one out of a first gen and do a straight up swap? Garth 04-10-2004, 01:10 AM It use to really bother me the way the horn sounds and I have to keep reminding myself that its not that (pooop) bad. I found that it sounds much better outside than (POOOP) in. :D EBInterceptor 04-10-2004, 01:14 AM I just don't think it gets the point across. I hit the horn and people start looking around like "what the hell was that?" and start swatting for insects. I don't want to go with an aftermarket unit, but figure it would be easy to just pull a horn from the salvage yard and plug and play. Garth 04-10-2004, 01:30 AM Yeah its plug and play. The insulation in the truck makes it sound less than it is. You should go down the block and let someone give it a few toots and see how you like it. It may seem not so bad hearing outside the vehicle. I do know what you mean though. I checked to make sure that both were working, the first time I heard my horn. EBInterceptor 04-10-2004, 01:39 AM If anyone was around I'd have them take a listen. Unfortunately I'm 1 out of 10 people on this entire campus right now. I may leave it depending on how it sounds, otherwise I'm going to pull a horn as soon as I have some more time. Texplorer 04-10-2004, 01:43 AM Buy a Rolls Royce, they have two horns. A city horn and a country horn :p EBInterceptor 04-10-2004, 01:49 AM Oh how silly of me. I've been thinking about remedying this problem completely wrong. Easiest solution: Get a Rolls Royce. Now why didn't I think of that! :confused: EF is always here to get me back on track! :chug: bwphoto 04-13-2004, 11:14 AM EBI, I'm also a Spartan and can listen to your horn. The one in my 92 X sound pretty wimpy also, so I feel your pain. I remember the first time I hit it, I started looking around to see who was honking at me from their '85 Honda Civic! It's low on the list of things needing replacement unfortunately...
