Even on my 06 the horn is nowhere near attitudy enough to display my utter disgust at its intended recipient!

Some twin tone air horns are probably on the shopping list to go from an eeeeeeeeeeee to an URGGGGGGGGH.

I find my horn a lot louder than I've ever heard on other Hondas.

My crx one always sounded like it was out of breath and both my dads crv's sounded a bit queer for a big car like that.

My CRX one is an aftermarket job of somesort, its deffo not standard, but i think the standard crx one is deffo louder than the S2K.

The earlier cars were closer to F1 cars than the later toned down versions. The horns fitted met the minimum requirements only.

When last did one hear a racing driver using the horn ? Real drivers gesticulate and use colourful language. This is the way of things. It always has been. So it should remain.

Here's a comparison of stock versus Halfrauds replacement which I found somewhere. Can't for the life of me remember where

Is that why they also fitted mincy suspension and VSA

Sounds like something a woman would ask for....

It's amazing mate, I honestly never expected a 5yr old Honda to be this comfortable

There's no clutch vibration noise, no roof rattles no nothing, it's dead quiet in there!

It's not as quick off the line as the crx but in all other aspects it's been a good upgrade, I am a happy man

i fitted twin air horns to mine. you need to run a decent thickness positive cable down from the battery though (fused near the batt) and just use the existing feed to switch a relay for 12 amps of annoyed man-grunt

it works very well but i do believe i took the front bumper off to fit it
