944Time

I was under my car, checking on my control arm replacement, when I spotted and removed this:



Two things surprised me about this. That I had never noticed it before and that these cars have TWO horns.

I had no idea.

Anyway, this horn was closest to the bottom of the car. The other horn is tucked up higher. That one still works.

Is this the low-tone horn or the high-tone horn? Car is 1986 NA. I'd guess it is the low-tone (310hz?) but if anyone knows for sure...

Don't have your answer... But are you 944time from 944time.com?? If so, thanks for the the power door lock writeup! It proved valuable to me

The Harbor Freight air horns are actually not terrible. Back when I had a beat up 1970's Italian convertible the one thing I made sure was operating properly were the air horns. Half the intermediate shaft was rolling around in the oil pan but I had air horns like a Testarossa.

My horn sounds like a clown car >.<

Lets start a "what does your horn sound like" thread haha so we can compare

I had air horns on my Datsun 240Z and when I had to use them, the affects were substantial. I'm thinking about getting a set for my 87 to replace the weak a-- moan.

i replaced both of mine with a single hour out of my camaro

shed that weight.....

all i got is a high tone it sounds cute

"cute" sounds ideal for our lil sports cars

BUT I've toyed with the idea of installing a train horn (make people poop themselves when I scare them with it) or getting one of those speakers with all kinds of horn sounds

Probably a surprise to everyone here, but up-armored HUMVEES - a 5-ton vehicle with a Browning .50 mounted on top - has a little 'meep-meep' horn. When I was in Iraq, my driver was concerned about clearing the locals as we were roaring into traffic circles at speeds in the 40-60 mph range. Someone told him, "Hit the horn, they'll move." So, we'd be hammering through Baghdad with a convoy behind us and him pressing the horn with his thumb, "Meep-meep. Meep-meep. Meep-meep."

They moved!

If you are going to replace your horns, you might as well go for the best.
