Zip-
the newer altima horns are better than the 5th gen horns. More of a "big car" sound to them...

E55AMG- Are you sure they are plug and play? No grounding?

the mounting bracket the horns sit on IS a ground...it attaches directly to the body of the car....that said, I did do a seperate ground wire for my Hella horns, though not sure it was really necessary...

The Z horns sound the best, but they cost more.

Here is the proceure for install.

You undo the 8mm nut thats holding the horn onto the metal plate in the car, then unplug the spade connector. Repeat for the other horn.

Now, remove the new horns from their metal plate by using the same procedure, but save the nut on the back.

Put the new horn in its respective place, High tone where the high tone went and vice versa. Then retighten the respective nuts and plug in the respective spade connectors.

Make sure the open ends of the horns face down, and you are done.

Total time, 8 min if you scratch your *** for 4.

I have a 2k2 Altima, and the horn sounds like it belongs on a car, not like ours that sounds like it belongs on a scooter.....
