Yes, how difficult is the horn to replace. I had my car for a month when a medium pickup truck ran a stop sign and an ended up blocking an intersection to oncoming traffic. When he started to backup out of the intersection (towards me), I sat on my horn for what seemed like an eternity. Needless to say, I honked the horn and he did not hear. He ran up over my front and hood. $4700 and a new hood and front spoiler later, I partly blame the horn.

 

I had the same kind of accident with my old VW.....i was honking and honking and still got front ended....

 

Careful guys, don't confuse an "underweight" horn with an idiot driver... <g>

I'm convinced that you could have an air raid siren under your hood and most people are so freaking clueless that they would back into you anyway... "oh, I didn't see your little car!"

 

I think my dealer charged me 1 or 1.5 hours labor to install the horn.

 

+1, and sorry mjones, it's a repost

 

Years ago I installed a very loud airhorn on a sport bike. One blast of the horn and cars moved - fast. It sounded like a freight train was about to come through. It probably saved my life a couple of times.

There has been times that I thought about doing the same for the C2S. A loud horn is very effective at getting peoples attention.

 

I think this guy is a complete ******* and there is nothing cool about this video.

 

Mike, is it because you saw it way back in November of '06 when mjones first posted this? It could very well be the same post you saw back then and not a repost.

It was not posted in a forum that discusses societal ills and what can be done to correct them.

It was posted here, where light hearted and humorous posts used to be the norm. As evidence of that, you'll notice that none of the posts from five months ago were negative. And that since this thread was revived yesterday there were 3 negative posts just in one day critical of the video.

Coincidence?

 

Good catch Ben, I think you're right. I didn't check the post date. My bad.

Regardless, driving around with a horn like that and scaring the crap out of people seems juvenile and rude. Kind of like the guy in the CGT with straight pipes. Oh well, to each his own.

 

Definitely juvenile.

The cops should have arrested them for disturbing the peace, if nothing else. And those horns should be illegal and should earn the owner a ticket.

I wonder if there's a decibel limit allowed by law? Seems like there should be, huh?

Talk about some guys needing to get a life.....

 

Here you go:

 

Good post, Rolf.

And for those who ordered the shop manual through me, go to Section 63 15 19, Removing and Installing Front Spoiler - as of MY 2005, Page 827, for the instructions on how to remove the front bumper cover - the necessary preliminary work cited here.

 

Definately agree. What losers, all they want to do is blast their obnoxiously loud horn to try and startle people? Install it on a Focus, you dont need a Porsche for that.

PM me on how to order the shop manual through you. Is 05 and 06 the same manual?
