You guys should tryout the "Ferrari" horns, I think available from Autozone. It emits this loud, high pitched sound. Heard one on a 3 series BMW, was crazy loud and def gets attention when pressed.

IIRC it's only 102 dB. Every increase of 3 dB, the amplitude of the output is doubled.

Do the 350Z horns just drop in place of the OEM's without modifications?
Are they tough at all to get to?

Thanks

Yes.

Not too tough, take a little bit of dexerity, nothing that should take more than 15 minutes.

If you purchase the Supertones, there is a diagram on how to connect the stock ones with the Supertones using the relay supplied.

I have the 350Z horns in mine. Perfect replacement for those corny sounding stock sound. Very easy to replace....plug-n-play. Sound is not bad, either.

i got hella supertone 118db from the gb, not bad but needs improvement.

i think if you want somebody's attention, you should get 2~4 air horns, shouldn't cost you more than 70 bucks and they are loud as hell.

Hey Luis-
Vaction was good! Got my toes in the sand! Guess that's no big deal to a Florida boy! On the 350Z horns- I could do $67 a pair for a GD- I know there's cheaper stuff out there, but they are the real thing. Give me a call!
-David
Here is the price that he will give us......

Same ones I have. They are LOUD.

Only thing is in the winter they stop working when it gets really cold up in Toronto, also because I mounted them right behind the grill.
