Ditto on the hellas. I had the dual fiamm trumpet airhorns before. There is a slight lag because of the compressor and you get flipped off every time you blast them for scaring the bejesus out of people. But as a counterpoint, even cab drivers will yield to airhorns...then flip you off. I am thinking of adding two more hellas for a total of four.
Fellas, thanks for the tip. I thought I was the only one who found MY 00 and MY 01 S2000 horn sissy sounding. Hellas sounds like a good replacement. Was it direct bolt on? Where can I get them? Price? Heck, even my wife thinks my S2K horns are weak. Although I only use the horn once in a blue moon, when I use it, it's just does not feel right.
Years ago a buddy of mine had about 7-8 electric horns on his car (a big land yacht). He just pulled them from different cars in the junk yard. So there was no "tune" to them - it had a jangled dis-chord sound to them. It was just terrible to listen to - and boy did it get folks attention.
Anyone with double hellas what is the pricing/timing of the mod. I must get a new horn, never really thought about it since I never use it, but with a great horn sounds I think I would use it all the time.
MarkS2K has airhorns on his MY2000 and they sound awesome. I need to get off my lazy butt and make this change.
BTW, the MY2002 horns still suck. They are a little bit better than before but you'd have to hear both side by side to notice much difference. Trust me.
I have the Hella twin electric "supertone" horns!
118 db and they're loud enough to make people jump!!
The install is probably easier than the air horns too!!
