Installed FIAMM dual air horns last weekend
I installed FIAMM dual air horns in the stook over the weekend. I am very happy with the results. I now understand the earlier poster (Mingster?) who said he looked for every excuse to honk. These things sound great - the perfect complement to a roadster. [warm fuzzy moment] They remind me of the horns my dad had in his E-type Jag when I was growing up. [/warm fuzzy moment]
I ordered them from Duetto Motors at http://home.flash.net/~duetto/general/gencatalog.htm, $43 shipped. The gentleman I spoke with was very pleasant to deal with. He focuses on the Miata market. I think he might be amenable to a group buy if enough folks are interested.
I want to thank everyone on this site and at https://www.s2ki.com who posted information regarding the horn installation, as it made my task much easier. I would like to add a few comments to the database. Once I have the photos developed and scanned, I will post more info.
In the meantime, I do have one bit of advice. If, after successfully completing an air horn installation, you parade around the house exclaiming "I'm feeling horny, baby! Yeah!" in your best Austin Powers voice, I can assure you that your spouse will not think it nearly as funny the second (or third or fourth...) time you say it. If you get a laugh the first time, then behaaaaave and quit while you are ahead.

Cool... they sound much better than the stock 'roadrunner' horn don't they?

They sound much, MUCH better than the stock "meep, meep!" horn.
Plus, I think there is a real safety improvement. Living in the Suburban capital of the world, I am getting tired of playing dodge-the-deaf-SUV. I demonstrated them to one of my partners yesterday afternoon. His first comment: "F*ck, those are loud!" Then, he went on to say how great they sounded.
jay- did you install in the grill or under the hood?
anyone have 3 horns? is the difference in loudness, or is there a tone diff too?
would be nice to have postings of the different horn sounds on this board! (wonder if we can)
