It's pretty straightforward. Just undo all the nuts and stuff. The hardest horn to get to is the one behind the grill because of the limited space. Good luck.

your right it was very easy. I used the second horn on the bracket (left part of engine bay). Just took it off the bracket and all....then used the Fiamm bracket with new horn attached...connected it all up and whamo I now have the OEM horn and the Highway Blaster at the same time.

where did you buy your Fiamm?
is it simply a matter of switching the new horn for the old or are there electrical mods that have to be done in conjunction?
thanx

I just installed the "E" Highway Blaster Horn. It is ok I might exchange it to see how the Red Blaster horn sounds. I don't even know what the Red Blaster horn is??

Anyone with some feedback on how the Fiamm Horns sound?

.

I don't know much about the Red or Blue Horns (are you talking about air horns?), but the black ones are pretty loud. They sound much more manlier, deeper, and louder than the stock horns.

I'm using the E horn in conjunction with my OEM front horn. The front horn looks like a pain to deal with. So what would be a deeper sound? E with OEM or F with OEM?

Thanks

I don't know what the red and blue ones are so I can't comment.

I forgot which is the low note horn (E or F). I recommend putting the high note behind your grille and the low not in the engine bay.
