Default HELLA Super tone horn install

I plan to install a set of HELLA Super Tone horns in place of the original horns that have no b*lls! I am installing the protective radiator metal grills on my 997.1 and figured since I will be removing the front bumper cover its a good time. Any feedback or problems I may encounter? Thanks and enjoy this crazy cold weather....even in NC!

I'm curious about this also and have been considering the supertones. 20 years ago, I badly needed to replace the tinny, crap OEM horn on my S2000 and the best Hella option at that point was the twin trumpet deal like this...
For those rare occasions when I wanted a horn, it was extremely effective.

I believe the front wheels need to be removed.

Yep, These are the two round horns not the trumpet air horns. I rarely use my horn but nice to know they have some "manly noise" if need be.

The Marco tornado is louder. That's what I replace failed horns with now. Have both a dual-tone Tornado and a single tone Hurricane in my Cayenne which is a different octave from the others, so it's a tri-tone blast of STOP or MOVE. Have a Tornado in one of my 928s. The Hellas didn't sound particularly loud in the videos I watched and why I started looking for something stronger. Compact self-contained design
