I don't like the sound of the stock horns. I have seen the Hella horns available on the web but haven't heard them.
Any experience with them or others?
Thx

This reminds me. I had the horns installed by the stereo installer. He installed a new wire w/ fuse off the battery and the included relay. I think it looks cheesy to have that extra wiring.
Anyone know if it is possible to install the horns using just the stock relay? Also, can I use the unused fog light fuse socket instead of the add-on one?

The links are in the S2K FAQs section of S2Ki fanclub. Here they are:
Airhorns https://www.s2ki.com/faqs/faq_airhorn.php
Hella Horns https://www.s2ki.com/faqs/faq_horn.php
BTW, a relay is recommended for horns that draw a lot of current. So far, so good with the airhorns on the stock circuit in my car, but I did swap the 10A fuse for one rated at 20A (per instructions from the manufacturer).

I put in a pair of Hella horns (not the air horns) without the relay. I also swapped the fuse. It may not be best practice, but it works, even with the brake light on.

Blow the horn, your car bursts into flames, aluminum hood melts, tires start burning (dull, smokey and stinky) and then you fight back the tears.
