The dealer replaced my horn(s) at my 24-month service. Only one was working, making for an extremely "wimpy" honk.
Service tech said the 997 horns have not been "reliable." I think only one of mine was working from Day One.
Hey, I didn't buy the car for the horn.

When I took my car in for service (oil change and such) the dealer informed me that my horn was weak and needed to be replaced.
I also never honked it and did not mention anything to the dealer.
I would guess that there must be some tech bulletin on this.

when i honked it for the first time it scared me. I want the horn from the 964 back!

Mine (996) is original and sounds just fine. Loud and urgent. Others notice it and that's good enough for me as I use it often to wake up the many morons wandering off-lane, while on the cell phone, reading books, or texting.

Mine have been replaced three times. Each time, one of the horns wouldn't work, resulting in a single, weak tone. My latest iteration features a raspy sound along with the regular tones, but since they make the basic tones, I've stopped caring. No point in making a special trip out to the dealer to get these replaced ...

I had the compact air horn installed on my Boxster and liked it so much that I had another installed when I purchased my 997. There is no comparison to a regular 997 horn, it blows it away. It certainly gets someone's attention, as designed, yet doesn't sound like the Dukes of Hazzard. I highly recommend the Griot's compact Italian air horn.

Is the delay noticeable now that the tubings are eliminated?
