GRIOT'S ITALIAN AIR HORNS - installed with pics!
 

OK latest mod...I hated the way the stock horns sounded on our cars. I knew I was going to replace them with air horns. I bought the GRIOTS Italian air horn and am very happy. The horn is very LOUD and very EURO sounding. Exactly what I wanted.

The only hassle is like most of you know..you have to remove the whole dang bumper cover.

Here are pics...

Before we started..I drove the car on wooden planks for give it some raise.

must be the horn that keeps u awake at 4 am. don't play with it too much. :D

were those play and play? or did you have to splice and make brackets.....

thx

Hey Arling...yeah it was a late or early night last night...I mean I had to take her home right?? Didnt want to make her walk.....and we all know the guy rule...she aint sleeping over..she gots to go. hilarious

It is PNP to an extent...but yeah there is some customization involved. You are correct in assuming the bracket has to be fitted. The one that comes with the air horn aint going to cut it. So you have to have some one that can bend some stuff and make it all fit. Also..the electronics. My installer made sure he ran all the wiring and relay and fuses INSIDE the car...so none of it is sitting outside. A pretty obvious move, but I guarantee you alot of lazy installers dont care about.

It is pretty straight forward...but if you want to hide the wires etc and make it look clean there is some moving around you have to do.

Irving, I can hear your "Red Horns" from Vietnam, man!!! What's the deal here???? Can a guy get his beauty sleep.

I'll bring back a set of Daiwoo 18-wheelers air horn for your pleasure.

thats probably, the first air horn mod in a p-car...ever. AI you gonna start a trend or what! I gotta hand it to you, thats not your typical mod.

Could you possibly record a small soundclip and share it with us?

Irving, that's the most interesting mod I have ever heard for a Porsche! You are funny, man...

BTW, where/when you gonna need it since we lived in So. Cal..... :eek: ?!!

For those in the socal area...at the next "coffee social" you can hear it for yourselves...its pretty loud.

I also like it because it sounds different...not a typical horn noise. Now it sounds more EURO baby! Just like a Ferrari? ahahhaa....

Can't wait to hear you making all the noise..... Just don't get us in trouble with the locals cops that frequent SB...:D

See you then,

-Eli

I put in air horns 3 years ago after a truck backed up into the Boxster....

Except I left in the original horns.

Now, that's loud.
