Good to hear that I'm not the only one. I had these horns for about one year. I rarely use it, except when I see fellow I-clubers. I like scaring fellow clubers only.

Although today I think it might have been a little too much for a guy in a grey sti at appian way around 4pm. He shooked or jumped in the sit and had a deer eye. Oops. sorry....

Gurls should use THEIR horns (as in honkers, hooters, whatever) to grab other subies attention. Fixed!

same here... I rarely use my horn unless somebody does something really stupid.

I did come up to a group of people walking in the middle of the road, they were totally oblivious to the fact that there was a car behind them. So I just revved the engine a little and they moved to the side. As I passed one of the people made the comment, "Was that necessary?" I just replied with, "Well I could have used the horn." and then I honked the two sets of hellas and they all jumped.

hmm a lot of people these days try to be super cool and pretend not to see, until i give them the thumbs down. then they look super surprised and angry. depending on their reaction i may or may not change it to a thumbs up or a peace sign lol

I really don't use my horn when I drive. I sometimes feel odd about using it. (don't ask me why haha) I think the only time i use my horn is when people look under the hood. hahaha I like seeing them jump.

I am like that to a point lol. I don't think my husband likes when i honk them when hes under the hood haha. Speaking of hella horns i need to install mine since they are sitting on the desk. I did like using them from time to time when they were on my sti haha.

I don't really care to use them on the street unless i have to use them. Some people get irritated with me cus i dont use them every chance i get but i dont care to honk them at everything.

Sound Level at 2 meters: 118 dB
Construction: Rugged Black Body with Red Protective Grille

- 2 Disc Type Horn
- 1 Relay 12V 30A 4 Pin, 4RA 965 400 00

Aftermarket horns provide a louder, and often more pleasant sound than stock horns. Stock horns typically have an output of 97 dB. The decibel scale is logarithmic and therefore the sound pressure doubles for every increase of 3 points, i. E. A horn with 118 dB is approximately seven times as loud as a stock horn.
