I HATE THAT AIR GUIDE!
Having twice removed the air guard (once for horns and A/C condensor and again for AUS Air Intake Extension; I have the scars to prove it) I have found the correct and painless way to remove it.
After removing the top screw plugs push the guard down and under the front crossmember. This gives ample space for all but the most ham-fisted to get to the front plugs with a small screwdriver.
Here endeth the lesson.

What was the install like for those because it mentions a relay and so on. How long did it take and did it require moving things around?...

The install was farily easy. I installed one of the Hella's where the
stock horn is located in the engine bay. (MY 2002)
The other, well, it's, uh, well it's been awhile!!! It's in there somewhere!!!!!
I'll take some photo's later and show you!!!

I can't believe you guys going all these trouble to make the horn sounds better. I don't remember that last time I actually used the horn intentionally on any of the cars I have driven. I think I heard my S2K horn once when I accidentally hit it while cleaning the interior.

The "highway blaster" I used mounts right in place of the OEM horn and does not need a relay or a fuse to be changed. The one I have seems louder - and for sure a better tone. I would say every owner should at least do that.
Sure, dual horns or air horns would be better - but other than the air guide it is a really simple install.
AusS2000 - are you saying you take out the screws (which face forward) then bend the whole air guide DOWN to get at the "pop outs" ? Then re-install in reverse? Got any pictures (my wrists still hurt today) ?

I can dig the old MY2001 single horn out of the trash and send it to you if you just gotta know
It was embarrassing to have to use it. I have the OEM alarm and have it set to honk on alarm arm and disarm - so it was even MORE embarrassing! I had to use my new horn that night to fend off someone wandering into my lane. It must have worked, they jerked back into their lane post-haste.
