Default Installed Fiamm triple air horns today: incredible sound and well worth the trouble

Inspired by other recent posts, I decided on the spur of the moment to install the Fiamm triples (which I purchased at Auto Zone for about $35). What a sound! After I got them installed, I drove around blowing the horn and making an ass of myself just to keep hearing them. It

looks good rick...
i would add that painting the horns black helps to hide them (if you want to)
mine are black and dont show unless you get down and look for them.
i know what you mean about driving around honking-
i still honk in tunnels and under bridges -
love the sound, and it goes perfectly with this car!!!

Is it too much trouble if one of you can record and post a sound file. I am really curious.

With the McCune grille painting is not necessary: You can't see the horns at all -- this is a stealth mount.

Went on a long drive into horse country north of Baltimore and into rural PA. I must have found a dozen reasons to blow the horn! Waved and honked at a TR-3, a 911, a couple of Miatas, a Z3., and some kids selling lemonade at a rural roadside stand. The triple horns are a great way to say hello to other roadsters, unlike the beep-beep roadrunner sound of the stock horns, which are an embarassment, IMHO.
